Hi
So I've just overclocked my laptop's nVidia Quadro K5000M to try and save myself from an endless nightmare of driver modifications required to install a Quadro M5000M or P5000M.
After initially flashing a custsom vBIOS onto the card using nvflash I had the stock clock speeds up from 601MHz to 758MHz. And a lot of MSI afterburnering and benchmarking testing later, I settled at a final speed of 1108MHz. Whilst that number isn't great in the grand sceme of things I'm proud of it, since this 7 year old Quadro almost doubled it's stock clock speeds, any modern GPU doing that would be unheard of.
Now I admit this post is fairly niche but I do however have a few questions, and had a few raised eyebrows whilst in the process of this overclock.
Firstly: This one's just out of curiosity, if anyone else reading has also OC'd the K5000M, what frequencies were you able to get, and is 1108MHz on core comparable to what you achieved?
Secondly: This is a weird one, and those with a keen eye may have spotted it already. When talking about the overclock, I purely mentioned core clocks, and not memory. For some reason if I try and adjust the memory clock, MSI afterburner will just reset the sliders for Core clock and Memory clock back down to 0. Does anyone know if this is a problem with MSI afterburner, the K5000M or something else?
Here's an image below of my overclock whilst running unigine valley - at least there should be but for some reason it didn't work. (yes I know there's much better benchmarks out there but I standardised on this one a while a back and don't really see a need to change, at the end of the day a better card will still get better framerates no matter what benchmark you use (usually) so what's the point!)
