After i installed this my GPU doesnt seem to overclock as well as it used to.. maybe its just me.. or maybe because the weather is warmer lately.... but i only have a stable 375 core now.. from 411 before.

hrm...I haven't overclocked anything since I upgraded the bios - I'll try it now and see what happens.

I have no problem overclocking my 128 MB X300. A06 or A07 I have been able to overclock to 400 core 325 Memory.

wonka187 · 07-15-2005, 09:27 PM

I was actually able to clock my card another 2MHz higher for the core and the memory. Bringing my absolute max to 417MHz Core and 312MHz memory. Although if I turn them both up to that number, I get errors in ATITool. But I can run 410MHz Core (a 36.7% overclock) and 305MHz memory (a 41.2% overclock). This takes my average FPS in ATITool from 30fps to 43 FPS!. Can you believe that...a 13 FPS increase. That's 43% increase in speed. Makes the graphics almost bearable...hehe

i prefer to overclocking the mem more then the core as thats what games utilize... its probably as my laptop has aged... and it ventilation not what it used to be....... i think i may rip it apart and see if AS5 can be applied to the x300...

wonka187 · 07-16-2005, 11:08 AM

My FPS average in ATITool now is 46. Not sure why it has gone up another 3fps today, but I can't complain.

Hmm , when i try to upgrade this drivers for bios, i get message: Resources file is missing.
Anybody have that problem??? Is that becouse i have SP1??

Try downloading it from Dell's website again.

Also, I see that you have a 9300...not to ask a dumb question, but you're not trying to install this BIOS on your i9300, right?
