Does auto detect clock settings work??

[Whoop]

Hi,

In the Nvidia tab (aftyer Coolbits) does the auto detect clock settings work for memory and GPU??

I'm not going to trust them but wondered how accurate they are. They suggested a change of the following -

From 370Mhz -> 422Mhz

From 1.05Ghz -> 1.15Ghz

I'm just curious if its right at all?

Hi Whoop

yes ,

Should be fine.Overclocks both GPU and ram.

Run a 3d mark and look for artifacts etc.. and play a few games see how you get on.

I wouldn't have thought that coolbits could work for a Radeon 9550. Is that the card you are overclocking?

i'm under the impression that thats not a Radeon 9550 he's overclocking. Never seen a radeon 9550 with 1.05Ghz memory lol

Personally I find it better to do things manually. Autodetect usually undercalculates the overclocking potential of my cards.

nor a radeon made by nvidia.

Hi all, (Easyrider )

The one in my sig needs replacing but I keep forgetting, its Kingpin: LOC plus my MCE machine spec.

The machine at test at the minute is -

AMD Athlon XP2800+
2Gb Corsair Cas3 PC3200 (purely for Bf2)
Nvidia 6800GS OC

So the auto detect is more likely to underclock than overclock hmmmm?

I still need to do try a pipe unlock too, but 3dmark 03 default settings gave me -

9885 Marks @ stock 370Mhz/1.05Ghz

10478 Marks @ 400Mhz/1.10Ghz

I haven't dared do the 422Mhz/1.15Ghz in case it was potentially damaging.

Do I seriously have to sit and watch it for artifacts for however long it runs each time too

It's highly advisable, especially using auto-detect, when I used my GS, coolbits would jack the memory speed up way too high and artifacts would always start to show after a bit. Better to watch whats happening rather than toasting your card...

Just did 420Mhz/1.15Ghz - 3D Mark 03 score is now.... 10810

Didn't watch EVERY single screen but did keep my eye on it, seems clear enough to my eyes

The temps seem fine so I don't know if I should go higher or leave it at that, what setting would I be best leaving it at full time? Stock or one of the others.

Its a BFG by the way.

EDIT - 1000 extra marks from stock, is that normal these days??

EDIT2 - Emlyn_Dewar what did your GS get to by the way?

It was PCI-E, went from 425/1.10 to 515/1.16, coolbits wanted it to be at 535/1.18 though... Just didn't go down well!
