【 Weak current College 】 video card overclocking techniques

For gamers, video card overclocking has been gamers to improve graphics performance of effective methods, however long the video at too high a frequency will result in video life significantly shortened, overclocking is risky, we need to do is in the video card you can afford, as much as possible to enhance the graphics core and memory frequency to get the best performance of the video!

1. driver overclocking method

For current high-end Nvidia video card, install the latest ForceWare driver, can be found in the driver's control panel graphics core frequency of video memory/tuning options, enabling easy overclocking. But for low end NVIDIA graphics (for example, by default some advanced features Nvidia will be set to hide (such as overclocking options), to open hidden overclocking options function, we can modify the registry to implement, but for novice users to modify registry has a certain degree of risk.

However we Luckily, we only need to download a whole series of detonators and ForceWare driver NvCoolFX tool to open the drive in overclocking options, NvCoolFX tool's main function is to lock the D3D/OpenGL mode of refresh rate, it also supports linear adjustment refresh frequency. Install and run NvCoolFX tool, click on "hide control options" menu, select "open the hidden control option," turn off NvCoolFX tool after you restart your computer.

Enter the video driver control panel, you can find driver panel more "Direct3D", "clock frequency" and "AGP set" three options, the option is nVIDIA in order to avoid the ordinary user misoperation and deliberately shielding function. Enter "" clock frequency "option, and then click the" allow to adjust the clock frequency "option, then you can use the mouse to adjust the" core clock frequency "and" memory clock frequency "for overclocking.

For ATI video card, you can use Omega Drivers accelerated version, the driver directly provides overclocking options, installing the Omega drivers to restart the computer, enter the display driver Panel, find the extra "Advanced3d" option, which includes "ClockRate" and "3D" and "Options" and "Color" of the four settings. Click on the "EnableClockRateChange" option to let users freely adjust the video frequency to overclocking.

2. software overclocking method

Users that don't want to use the drive itself to overclocking, PowerStrip this universal video card overclocking tool is used to send field, it is suitable for all video card overclocking, after you install the PowerStrip reboot the computer, right-click the system tray of PowerStrip icon, select "Configure" and "Performanceprofiles" option to enter the video frequency settings panel.

Panel left half is the video frequency setting of the option, first display the default state of frequency values. We can adjust the slider to adjust the display frequency of core/memory, needs special emphasis is to adjust the time not too greedy to small amplitude adjustments, it is recommended that when finished testing software with 3Dmak05 etc, if you passed all test items and pictures not flowers, this machine is steady-going and that can stabilize the overclocking. When finished, click on the "Saveas" button to save it for future use. Once the overclocking failed or want to return to the default state using the video card, you can select the Profiles dialog box in the "ResetAdapterdefaults" to restore the initial settings of the hardware.

3. modify BIOS overclocking

Use the video card drivers and third-party software overclocking method although convenient, but the disadvantage is the need to reinstall the system, and once again set the software to be loaded every time, thus taking up system resources. If you want to overclocking method once and for all, that is, modify and refresh the video BIOS. We know that the graphics core/memory clock frequency of initial value is determined by the control of the parameters in the BIOS, so as long as the video card BIOS is extracted and its corresponding parameter adjustment (in order to increase the frequency), and then republish the modified BIOS flush on the video card BIOS chip, take up reached permanently changing video card operating frequency.

If you are using ATI video card, you can run the software tools, ATIBIOSEditor, click on the button "LoadBios" included in local disk video card BIOS file, the program will display this BIOS for more information, including the BIOS date version of the core and memory frequency as well as the current standard TV mode, click on the core and memory frequency following the left and right arrows to 2.25 units be modified, the modified BIOS file saved well and refresh program write video card BIOS chip. For NVIDIA graphics user who can use X-BIOSEditor tool to modify BIOS that here is no longer a presentation.
