BEST Settings? (for G400 memory timings & overclocking)

[kjliew]

el_bruto,

It has been stated very clearly that duty cycle correction will only take effect when clock divider of 1.5 or 2.25 is used. That's why you don't see the difference for your 2.5/2.0/2.0 settings.

DentyCracker,

You can't compare AMD SS7 system with Intel ones. The later will always come up with better results. And, if you don't tune the motherboard settings of SS7, such as VIA or ALi, you won't likely get good performance.

Anyway, there's still an improvement after MGATweak.

Hey why stop at 2.5/2/2.5, tried 3.0/2.5/3.0 and now my MAX is at 181.5 Core / 217.80 Mem (544.50). No problems with ANY games and no crashes. Still testing though. =)

The 217 Memory seems to be the only restriction for me. I started with 520,530,540,550 and got back for 544.50. =)

If i go higher the there will be blinking white little spots and other texture errors.

Havent even touched the Duty Cycle correction or other misc stuff.. just plain O'c... BIG TIME. =) Maybe the best setting would be 3.0/2.25/3.0, havent tried.. =)

Tried if the board would get hot, but atleast now it feels quite cool.

Ha ha... Using 3/2.25/3 divisors I can push my MAX as high as 800 (267/356/267)!!! I got tired of trying and stopped there.

Now before getting all excited, the sad thing is that performance is like default 150/200. Further more I don't see any performance difference between PLL speeds of 500 and 800... ergo, these settings seem to be ignored by the hardware. Interesting...

yeah...this card is overclockable like hell ) but jbtw: when I tried 3/2.5/3 instead of 2.5/2/2.5 I experienced 3DMAX DECREASE!!! - so now I am back at 405 - 2.5/2/2.5 (162/202.5) and everything ok..

Scytale: memory clock 356 )))))

I just saw Paradox's report on his card.

Do you know that it is probably a failed Max card as it has 5ns memory on it that is why he can get quite high results for 'vanilla'.

Apparently these cards also have a fan power connecter the vanilla's don't have as well.

I read it somewhere and haven't noticed anyone else comment on this site about it.

I was hoping to get one but I got a bog standard 6ns vanilla oh well.Still runs well.
