| 173231 | 2003-09-05 08:12:00 | Hi guys just a few questions? I have an Asus V9520 Magic GeForce FX 5200 Graphics card. I am quite pleased with what it delivers but after more thorough research it's not really that much better than the Chaintech GeForce MX 440 I had. I'm not too fussed about it as I am gonna chuck it into another PC when I finally decide to take another upgrade plunge. What I'd like to know is... 1) Is it even worth my while trying to pump a little more performance out of the card? 2) Are their any little tweaks I can apply to the card to get a little bit more performance out of it? 3) Currently I am running RivaTuner to tweak settings but I need help on what I should tweak and by how much? 4) How high can I overclock the Memory Clock (250Mhz) and the Core Clock (330Mhz)? |

I don't recommend using the Asus overclocking program on the cd (Smart Doctor). It has a habit of malfunctioning and not staying at the rate you want it overclocked at. |
