Title: Warning! ATI Overclocking Utility Post by: Typhy on September 01, 2004, 06:03:12 am This is for dumbasses likely myself, who act with their balls instead of their brains.
So I'm sure most of you have heard about this new ATI Overclocking utility. Anyway, so I pick this up, on my Powerbook G4, with a 64MB ATI Radeon 9000 Mobility. So, being the fucking moron that I am, and despite the pleas of my teammates on NF, I hold down the up arrow, until my monitor freaks out, and I bail before the thing explodes. 600% is to high to overclock a computer, especially a Powerbook.

Title: Re:Warning! Post by: bronto on September 01, 2004, 06:08:34 am you don't overclock anything without a fit cooling system. i would imagine a laptop is terrible for this.
Title: Re:Warning! Post by: Typhy on September 01, 2004, 06:40:57 am Will it let you overclock a G5??? ;D Absolutely, if you've got an ATI card. Check it out over at IMG. Title: Re:Warning! Post by: BTs_Lee.Harvey on September 01, 2004, 11:39:19 am you got a link typhy?

Post by: Maniac on September 01, 2004, 05:51:45 pm As you all know Typhy likes to try stupid things like making his computer so hot he could could flip it over and cook some eggs and bacon on it =D. Anyone who wants to try it go to www.versiontracker.com and get the temperature gage so you can watch how hot you're computer will get before it blows up.
Title: Re:Warning! Post by: .vooDoo. on September 01, 2004, 07:07:46 pm how bout some sucess stories. Anyone try this app and actually see and improvement. Post your results here please.
Title: Re:Warning! Post by: BTs_Mysterio on September 01, 2004, 07:39:35 pm Voodoo, typhy had stable success at 15% up on both of the setting. But there were distortions when using the zoom feature. I don't know anymore than that.
Title: Re:Warning! Post by: spike on September 01, 2004, 08:49:14 pm what do you recomend typhy? i dled it and had it at %15 and i had better performance, but I talked to cuniac who told me the normal rate is 7 or 8%. so whats best?(i basically have your computer 1ghz ibook 640 ram)
Title: Re:Warning! Post by: Typhy on September 01, 2004, 09:12:52 pm If I crank it up above about 15%, my screen gets weird. 15 works well for me.
Title: Re:Warning! ATI Overclocking Utility Post by: spike on September 01, 2004, 10:51:52 pm I'm using it at around %10 and I think I see a small improvement. I'm going to compare the fps with it enabled and with it not enabled and then we will see.
Title: Re:Warning! ATI Overclocking Utility Post by: Typhy on September 01, 2004, 10:55:06 pm Gotta realize that even if you double your graphics, it won't double your framerates.
I'm going to test it out on BF1942, which seems to be very graphics card intensive. May see more of a boost there. |
