Overclocking Geforce 7300GS

Zubasa · Dec 9, 2006, 04:29 PM

Geforce 7300GS (Low Profile PCB...)
Stock:
Core: 550MHz
Memory: 600MHz

Current OC:
Core: 625MHz
Memory: 750MHz

Any suggestions on the clocks?
How much can the can card go you guys think?
And what can improve this sucker?

xman2007 · Dec 9, 2006, 06:39 PM

about £150 could improve that sucker by replacing it with a better card lol its a low range card simple as, and isnt really a gaming card. aside from your oc (looks like you have a nice oc btw) there wont be much you can do to improve its performance.

have you tried a voltage mod? here is a link thats shows how for a 7300GS...keep in mind u can destroy your card

I dont think its worth modding it, that oc is pretty good for stock voltage!

Just live with it until DX10 is out and then high end DX9 will be cheaper and should give you a nice eye candy increase!

Current OC:
Core: 650MHz
Memory: 775MHz

Actually I manage to make the memory run at 780MHz O.O
The Core can get to 650MHz but I see artifacts once a while. (Stupid Stock Cooler)

Wow, thats a crazy oc, does it need alot of cooling to keep your card stable though? Thats like nearly a 25% oc

Zubasa · Dec 10, 2006, 01:46 AM

Nope, the memory can actually run at 790Mhz sometimes (On a cool day), but I set it to 775 to ensure stability.
I am actually quite surprised that the memory can run at 775Mhz will no cooling!!!
The tiny stock cooler on the card looks pity.....
All I did was replace the crappy thermal paste on that card.

Current OC:
Core: 635MHz (No More Artifacts yay~)
Memory: 775MHz

If you think thats enough, look at this.
Current OC :
Core : 626
Memory : 1.21 ghz

This card has its last limit at the above rates and is stable enough.

Zubasa is running at a higher clock than your self. 1.55ghz, have you tried getting yours that High?

Nice OC'ing, both of you.

bhaskar15 · Dec 19, 2006, 02:42 AM

gettin higher can shorten the llife of it, read in a tech magazie. It's highest (stable) memory speed is 1.3 ghz. And Clock is approx. 675 mhz.
Getting higher than that is risky you know.

Well, its ok now, my X1600 Pro came back but I have already brought a X1950 pro.....
Now I dunno what to do with 3 VGA cards....
And I still have problems with my X1950 Pro crashing under ATiTool....
Oh crap..... dunno what to do with my 9550....
