Well, guys, I have been trying to overclock my GPU and so far, it has failed.
I have been using ATItool, I likes its simple to use interface. Whenever I try to up the memory or core clock and hit "change" or whatever, it goes back to the regular setting. When I even try to DOWNCLOCK, it goes back to normal. I also clicked on "set to default" and something weird happened, the screen became a field of vertical blue and green lines.
I don't want to overclock it for long. I just want to see if it will even overclock, and maybe even play a game or two before returning it to normal. I have read the overclocking guide on this forum, and that was of no help to me. I have also tried using RIVAtuner, and got the same results.
Here are some system specs:
eMachines T5226
Intel Pentium D 925 Dual Core Presler 3.0 GHz, 800 MHz FSB
2 GB Kingston Value Ram, PC2 4200
APower Platinum Edition 580W PSU
My GPU:
ATi Radeon X1650Pro
512 MB GDDR2 VRAM at 800 MHz
Core clock of 600 MHz
This is similar, except mine is not PowerColor and has a different HSF: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131068
Also, this is another weird thing. Check this out:
That is Everest Ultimate Edition, BTW
