Is it possible to overclock or speed up integrated graphics? If so, how would I go by doing that. I have an intel 910GL integrated graphics chip. It says it comes with 128 mb of shared ram but it doesnt feel like it. I want to try and play FFXI on this comp. I got a score of 3025 on the demo thingy but it felt a lil laggy at times. any advice would help. Thanks!
I dont think you can do it on intel its not actually a Video Card built in its just a controler with video support. Yea well thats very true and tis what happends when teh graphics has no Pixel Shader,T&L support,The memory is being shared with your ram which slows it down more as it has ot reach it and it takes longer then having straight on ram,slow core clock. I guess you are stuck with it. Unless its a Desktop? which i think it is go out and buy something for 120-170au A radeon 9600XT 256mb is 162au and runs every game out on at elast medium most run on high with it very smooth. whats your moterboard?
I really dont know the model of my motherboard, but i dont have a pci express port. i only have pic slots. my computer model is "Dell Dimension E310." Are there any pci video cards out there that would be able to play decent games? games like final fantasy XI??... thanks for the help with the integrated graphics by the way!
This is why I hate dell they always go stingy even though you end up paying alot. With only a PCi SLot the top card i know of that will work are the Geforce FX5500 PCI or the Geforce FX5700 PCI both are 256mb and for final fantasy you will be fine with these cards. ATi Hasnt made a PCI card lately the lats one i recall is the Radeon 9250 256mb but the Fx's are better go for them that is the bets you will get on PCI look for deals on ebay PCI cards are usually more pricey then AGP because they are more "Rare" now days. The 5700 is the best but its not much more with a 50mhz improvement over the 5500 buy whichever you can get out of the two. With either you will be able to run anything up to Underground 2's standard on high anything from and up from most wanted expect to run it in Shader 2.0 meaning lower quality so up from Most Wanted graphics expect agmes to run on low-mid settings with a 5/7/5/00 cards. Final Fantasy will work you will get games liek Flight Simulator and Underground 2 on high at a very stable rate here are the 5500 specs: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5500 GPU Clock Speed 270 MHz RAMDAC Speed 350 MHz Key Features Card Interface AGP 8x Compatibility PC Memory Installed Memory 256 MB Memory Tech DDR SDRAM Memory Data Width 128-bit Installed Memory / Technology 256 MB (DDR SDRAM) Memory Bandwidth 6.4 GB/sec Technical Features Form Factor Plug-in card Video Compression Standards MPEG-1 • MPEG-2 Analog Video Standards RGB Max.
