Yes I know its an older card but was curious how to and what kind of performance boost I could get. How do I know if its safe for the Memory mhz and video mhz?

Thanks
 
I just ran 3dmark03 and got a pitiful score of 860. What can I do to make that higher and not be SOOOO laggy. Obvious answer would be a new card, but something other then that.

You will gain next to nothing overclocking that card. It's very very low end. :(

Seriously now, an upgrade to another low end isn't that expensive, and it is miles ahead of the FX5200. Not to thread crap, but it was never a good card to begin with.

:D I guess thats what you get for a computer thats 3-4 years old? Bummer.
 
Like others were saying, you could overclock, but there's really no point, the power just isn't there to take advantage of any clock speed increase.
 
- Well what size monitor do you have?
- What games are will you be playing?
- What PSU do you have?
- How much are you willing to spend?

Also, aren't you getting a new system anyway? Why waste money on an old system when you're already buying a new rig? Unless this is for a friend?
 
It would be like putting super high octane in your moms old station wagon and going the the tracks expecting results. It might shave a second off your quarter mile, but your still running a freaking 20 second quarter mile while all your friends are laughing at you.
Just buy a new card, anything is better. Anything...

:D:D:D n ALright enough of this. I was just curious. I mean if it was dirt cheap to replace something I was gonna look at it in the far future. But I figure kill it, just use the computer for scrap parts.


Danny Bui, yeah that build is on temp hold for right now. Waiting on the power supply, I picked up memory the other day from ZZF. Can't wait to get the thing up and running.
