Arkangel Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 i know next to nothing about amd cpu's but i can tell you that this game requires a lot of it. I Oc'd my q6600 and gained more 20fps!

wuzzy Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I have AMD x2 64 5000+ Black Edition Last night I OC mine to 3Ghz by increasing the multiplier from 13 to 15 at same voltage. I got an FPS increase from about 26 up to 33 using the in game benchmark and it was quite noticably running better. Cores run a little hotter but nothing too bad.

Lil' Prophet Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I'm pretty sure it will, you just need to be sure in what you're doing with overclocking. Oh lol. late answer.

shadowpope17 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I managed to OC my 9950 to 3.0Ghz, I thought it was stable until GTA kept crashing.

Vicetopia Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 whats worse? Sorry, haha, I made the mistake of assuming that someone who is overclocking is actually aware of stability testing. Let me rephrase my post. If you overclock your processor at all then you need to run a stress test for error checking. And you shouldn't be using a software OC for 24/7 usage. The fact that you are doing that is why I said "even worse"; I'm implying you know less about overclocking than I originally anticipated.

creat3d22 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 (edited) I've had my E6750 2,66 ghz overclocked to 3,5 ghz for well over a year without a hitch. I get mid-30's fps on average at 1280x1024, medium tex, highest render q, View 6 (using the FarClip 3500 tweak(, Detail 100, Shadows 8 Seconding that you MUST stress-test your processor for 8 to 24 hours before staying at particular clock speeds and voltages. Programs like Prime95 are a necessity... try to learn as much as you can before going into OC, you'll do yourself a favor http://www.overclock.net/ http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/ Edited January 28, 2009 by creat3d22 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/394981-overclocking-cpu/#findComment-1058922233 Share on other sites More sharing options...
