Radeon X1300 dead after overclocking?

[VuH]

Hi,

My friend just gave me a Radeon X1300 pro AGP card. He told me that after he overclocked the video card it did not work any more. I installed it in 3 different computers and there is no video out of it, no beep from computer either (I used VGA output only, I did not check the DVI yet because I don't have the DVI to VGA adpter).

Is there a way to reset the video card back to default? Or may be the video card was dead by overcloking it?

Please advise. Thanks.

Why do people clock their video card in the first place?

Just to get a better performance? :roll:

If there is no signal from the video card, after OC it, that GPU must be now in heaven, probably dead.

because it's fun ?

(assuming you know what you do and know testing procedures/techniques and have decent cooling)

VuH...you can try to blind-flash the card. Look on techpowerup.com or on google.

Idea is to have a bios ready for the card on a bootable floppy/CD.......and then "blind" boot on that CD and let the CD autoflash the card upon booting with a original bios.

Also look on techpowerup, tehre is a download section for graphics cards bioses. Thats whay i would do.

Hi Flexy, do you or anyone know where I can download the bios file for ATI Radeon X1300 Pro AGP?. I searched all over the places including Google but I could not find it, I can only find the bios for the same chipset from other company only. Thanks.

the same reason anyone overclocks anything better performance

overclocking your GPU will give you higher fps in games overclocking the CPU helps out a lot but really it doesn't help much with fps this is because gaming is GPU dependent.
