Question about overclocking a Ti4200??

[DeepBlueJH]

Ok, I just bought a Palit Daytona Ti4200 64MB. Please dont knock the card, I know its not the best, but I wanted something inexpensive.

Anyhow, in the review below (of the 128MB version) that the card hit a "sweet spot" at 303Mhz core 615MHz memory clock. They also said that extra cooling of the card would be necessary.

I would like to over clock this card, but dont exactly know how far I can push it. I will not be adding any additional cooling to my case or the card. The heatsink/fan looked pretty good on the card, but I'm not sure how it actually performs. My computer is a Dimension 8100 with one, 92mm fan in the back directly behind the CPU.

My question to you experienced overclockers: How far can I push this card without compromising the stability (I want a rock stable card) on stock cooling? Stability is paramount here, I dont want an "almost perfect" running card.

Any input is greatly appreciated🙂

We dont know you have to tell us 🙂

Do a search for coolbits and use that to overclock it.

Exactly! Overclock it with any utility (coolbits is very popular) and find how high you can push it to be stable. What I usually do is keep pushing the GPU/memory speeds (independently - one at a time) until they get unstable (like say for example I get it to run at 320/600 but it crashes during 3dmark 2001 SE or some other 3d program), then I back down both the core and memory by about 20-25 MHz each. As long as it never crashes my machine ever, I'm happy!

Also, this is a question that belongs in the Video section, just a heads up for next time!
