At this moment I have my 5600 gpu at 299 and my ram at 499. What are the best clock settings for the 5600 series?

What were your default settings? If you have a plain vanilla 5600, they should have been 325/550.

Hey Jam

The default was 250 / 400.

Did you check the link I posted?

250/400 are the defaults for an FX5200.

Are u sure ur not mistaken it as the Geforce fx 5600 XT? Those run slower than the regular fx 5600

GOT TMP?

I think the XT runs at 235/400 & may be a 64-bit card too?

I told you what I had. Nvidia geforce 5600 128ddr. The box says the exact same thing. Not XT. Not 5200. Here is the link to where I got the card.

That is the exact card I got

Thanks Drew

Just looked at the site myself and noticed that it says my default clock speed is 275 / 400. I ahve been able to go up to 325 / 515 stable. Anything after that I get artifacts and it gets choppy. I keep it at 300 / 500 now. Does good and I am happy with it. But now I am curious as to why my default does not match any forums and sites I have visited.

I don't know what to tell you. There's nothing listed there about GPU/memory speeds & I have no idea who makes the card so I can't check the manufacturer's website. nVidia doesn't build cards, they only make chips & the FX5600 is designed to run at 325mhz. It's possible that the card manufacturer underclocked the GPU for some reason? If you search for other FX5600 cards, I think you'll find that the GPU runs at 325mhz, though the memory speed may vary depending on what was used

sorry, I missed the clock settings when I scanned over that page.....

My fx5600 runs at 324/501.

I can oc it with coolbits1(not tried coolbits2 yet) upto 360/620.

3dmark2001se gains an extra 2000 points.

usually games dont like me ocing my gfx card though?runs slower.

I dont know man, that clock speed sounds low to me with the Geforce FX5600. Aren't those default at 325/550? Even on my Sony Laptop GRT100 series, the 64MB Geforce FX5600go has 275/600 default... I saw like a version of Geforce FX5600 by chaintech, those run for 275/400, is that the one u got?

GOT TMP?

Got an 5600xt on games PC, currently its rubbish. What are ppl using to o/c the 5600? I stuck some crucial ramsinks on it the other day, so I might as well clock it up.

Anyone got any suggestions for an old CPU heatsink/fan I could replace the standard one 5600 one with? And how I could attach it - got 2 small holes diagonally opposed at the moment.

Hey I just oc'ed my 5600 (a cheap one at that) its stated defaults were 270/550
i got it up to 374/651 checking heatseank temp by touch... ran 3d mark 03 did better with the new settings I got an IC7-Max3 with a 2.4 northwood oc'ed to 3.1. Should I be able to go higher? all the setting I saw were lower than mine dont wanna burn it out.... any suggestions? new card heat senk?

Looks like I got a slow one, lol. My default speeds, on the 5600xt, were 235Mhz core, 400Mhz Memory. I put this up to 266/470 using rivatuner - seems a little smoother in 3D. Ps - Rivatuner detected my 5600xt as 128-bit. Will push it up a bit more later :^)

Hey Jam, Just found out who makes my card. Took a few days but here it is.

http://agptek.com/

i have overclocked my 5600ultra and did the gpu cover mod, and the 3% agp increase.

I am now running at 435/888mhz on my card.

all i need now is The artic cool heat pipe.

I scored 13513 on 3dmark01.

With the right adjustments. the card is not that bad.

Richard

Ive also had the unpleasant misfortune to have recently purchased a AGPTEK FX5600 from Imagestore.us

Except my card is a single head 256mb card.

http://www.agptek.com/products/products_detail.php?id=13

Strange thing about it is this:
Inspect the card, its a 5600
Inspect the documentation, its a 5600
Cross reference the serial number, its a 5600

Install it, its a 5600xt.

WTF?

The bios at least is from a 5600xt model since thats what it displays prior to MB post.

For those who dont know the xt models are GPUs that failed testing at the plant so were underclocked significantly to be made stable then sold.. the 5600xt performs like a 5200.

Any ideas whats going on here? Is AGPTEK ripping people off or what?

Id pop off the heatsink and check the numbers on the GPU but Im negotiating with Imagestore.us to get them to give me a refund on it.

Hey Fray. Let me know how that goes. Because I had my 440 64 running about the same clock speed. Proformance was a little bit less but not much. I am gona take off the heatsink today to see the chip. Ill let you know.

Thanx
Drew
