Video card overclocking

[reggie_da_man]

I was wondering if there is anyway to overclock this piece of crap video card with some sort of program. It's a XGI Volari V3

use Riva Tuner.

Yes you can OC it, the amount of OCing you can do with stock cooling really depends on how well your case is cooled and what temperature your room is at.

Why did you chose this card to begin with? Or was it in your old computer?

Well It's not mine, I built a computer for my girlfriend's sister and she just basically does things like surfing and MSN and stuff like that so she doesn't really need a good videocard but when i come over to see my gf I play a few games on it sometimes.

Yah you can use Riva Tuner on it, but if thats all she does, OCing does increase the temps a little bit, and may cause more noise because the fans are working harder. I don't think the OCing you can do on that card would effect the games you play THAT much. MAYBE a 2-5 FPS increase.

if riva tuner don't work use powerstrip (i know riva don't work on my laptop but powerstrip does)
