Running a p4 200gh 512ram ddr pc2100 ATI 9700 pro. Tryed o/c with rage 3d . I can't see a big change really. I have the newest drivers. ect. Only difference was my refresh rate on my monitor.Games look fine can play ones I couldn't before tho But im missing something? Running at core 351 .oo mhz, memory 321.75mhz . Should I just go for broke? and o/'c till I can see a problem? MOTHERBOARD 35c CPU 45C TEMPS
I had 64mg video on board before looked good to me
:rolleyes:
keep overclocking little amount then go into a game for a while and see if you get artifacting (little dots and lines coming off of stuff on the screen). once that happens you know youve goten to the limit so just go back down a few mhz until it runs fine.
Oh ok thanks Rossco have tryed bench marks but it's all chinese to me B)
What were you trying to run that a 9700 pro couldnt handle? Halo in 1600x1200, 6XAAF? :blink:
I didn't say I couldn't handle anything I was just wondering that I cant really see a difference in games that I could play before on my old onboard 64 mg thats all. I was was just curious .I know I can play more games now.I have being playing with options and such just thought I was missing something :)Quote:

what games are you playing? next time you go to play something go into the display options and turn everyhting up to the highest details possible, make sure aa and af are up to full, and use a realy high resolution, somehting like 1024x768 or higher.
I'm playing at 1024x768 mabye its fine I was expecting more? My little ones are happy tho. I think I'm just new and was expecting more ! Thank you Rossco :)
If it plays fine with stock settings I wouldn't clock it at all then.
Why fix what ain't broken?
What were you expecting? The only diff from one card to another is how many FPS it can put out really. The better the card the more FPS it will have and can also handle more filtering to make it look better. If you get a really good card its not gona shoot money outa your screen every once in a while. If games you played on your 64MB card work the same on the 9700Pro, the games probobly arent graphicly demanding. Run some benchmarks and you will see a BIG difference lol.
Man, I couldn't have said it better myself... B)Quote:
