Overclocking the Ti4600

[MistaX]

Well, since I was bored of getting rivals that have normal Ti4600s, I decided I'ed get a program to overclock it
I found http://www.voodoofiles.com/2597 NvMax to have sliderbars (like my Nvidia drivers once had, and then they vanished) and from http://www.voodoofiles.com I got the leaked 30.82 drivers.

So I went to work moving the sliders around and running SOF2 to check my improved framerate. I went from an average 150-200 to 200-300, just by going up 10MHZ on both Core and Ram clocks.
So I got bold and went all the way to the end of the blue, and ran SOF2.
No framerate improvement at all, and I noticed that textures cept flashing white, and then it froze, assuming by the heat. So I moved to 310Mhz core and 665 RAM clocks, maybe I'll mess around with making the core higher when I get a bit more bold

For now, I'm leaving it this way. I love this card

I recommend the prog for anyone with a Geforce card willing to mess around with it.
Don't mess too much, or you'll be out a few bucks you'll be layin down for a new card

I like to use Geforce Tweak Utility and RivaTuner for my GeForce 3 Ti500. I like them because, if you overclock your card too high, it will automatically revert to the default settings.

About those 30.82s. Are they stable?

 

[MistaX]

Haven't had a problem wit em yet, so I guess they are.
But I've only had like a hour and a half of testing with them

Benchmarks after everything.
I think I was in the 9000s before

You only have a 133 FSB, Mista? Or does DDR just show up as 133 at MadOnion?

A little OT - what temps do you see with your CPU? I have a T-Bird 1400 that I run at 1200 because it's not stable at its full rated speed. :reallyodd

Even at 1200 temps easily exceed 130 degrees F. If I run it full speed they get up over 140 in no time.

If I actually overclock it, Windows won't even start.

 

[MistaX]

I dunno, I never really paid any mind to FSB.
My temps always stay low, since my comp is always open.
I think its around 120F all the time.

 

[risingson77]

Meh, leaving my case open never did much for my CPU. The T-Bird is a very hot CPU...I think I should just punt for an XP.

risingson77: I think I had the same problem as you did. I have a 2000+ Athlon and sometimes it would freeze up like it was being overclocked too high. I debugged like hell and found out my powersupply wasn't giving enough power to the cpu. Try changing the cpu voltage in your bios to a higher volt.

Oooh, mister big shot with his 10k+ score.

 

[risingson77]

Hm...I've tried that before...it didn't do much, but I can try again. How much extra voltage did you use?

I've also been told that my 300w PSU could be a little underpowered for my CPU. I might have to try a 400+ one.

MistaX.....,

You could get the new ATI9700 and more than crush the nVidia competition, until they came out with their counter....

 

[MistaX]

I like nVidia, i've never had a problem with a nVidia card.
I think I'll be sticking with nVid until someone comes out with a much higher card then what they have out, and it would still be tough for me to decide to switch.

 

[KosmikFool]

So MistaX, you overclocked your 4600 and it worked fine? You didn't have a professional do it or anything? I might consider overclocking mine if thats the case...when my parents aren't home of course.
