1244099 2011-11-17 23:12:00 I have a bad computer, (see signature) and I want to max out my GPU. I cant upgrade, so please don't tell me "just get a new computer", as i cant. I would like some suggestions on some GPU overclocking software, or perhaps some BIOS menu that could help. I'm relatively new to overclocking, but i have done a small amount on my current CPU.
thanks, Skeptile

1244101 2011-11-18 00:57:00 I wouldn't bother, I doubt you will get much of a performance increase out of it to be of much use. You certainly won't magically be able to run Crysis just because you increased performance by 5% or something.

But if you do try, you should probably get a better cooler for it to make sure it lasts longer.

It's not bad - well depends how often it misbehaves - just old.
Its the best method for your GPU.

You could look at second parts...?GPForums have some now and then, better pricing usually than TRademe.

1244103 2011-11-18 02:02:00 Yeah if the only reason you can't upgrade is you're strapped for cash you should try TM. You can pickup a 9600XT for $30: www.trademe.co.nz That should be a considerable performance boost over your 9600. Yeah you could stick a WTB on GPForums. icow (15313)
1244104 2011-11-18 03:10:00 huh, replace a 9600 with a 9600 ??

How about a 9800 ??

1244105 2011-11-18 11:32:00 9600 =/= 9600XT. icow (15313)
1244106 2011-11-18 22:42:00 A 9800 would be even better

A 6600GT or higher better still.

But as we went over in the previous thread, the price will probably be stupidly high.

1244107 2011-11-20 05:26:00 yep. thats what i thought. just so I dont have to start another thread, looking at my computer, (signature) can you think of any other ways that i could inprove it? skeptile2 (16539)
1244108 2011-11-20 05:30:00 A Radeon 9600, so cute. CaptainVincent (76)
