Trying to boost performance on an old system running a nuclear Bom game.
I understand overclocking, but ensuring stability is key. If you experience crashes or performance drops, check your hardware compatibility and consider adjusting settings gradually.
Because the options are simple, just set the video memory address and CPU speed. This part of the chip isn't ideal for heavy overclocking, so there aren't many good guides available—try it out and see what works. Use Aida64 to verify temperatures stay under 75, and keep voltage below 1.4.
It seems I’m facing an issue here... The only adjustable setting is the memory RAM. Translated from DeepL (free version)
When the CPU VID remains fixed, the only viable solution is adjusting the CPU frequency using the standard voltage. If this isn't possible, there are no further alternatives available.
Cpu vid isn't the same as voltage. They're different metrics. You mentioned two mini benchmarks—one with high graphics settings and one with low settings. The GPU was run without OC, so you created some adjustments for swadowplay. It should help a lot later.
the frame rates stay consistently on the GPU rather than the CPU because using the CPU is slow and the GPU handles it more efficiently. i’d say around 710 fps, though i won’t expect much higher than 7 to 15 extra frames. ram would also be helpful, as the voltage isn’t much different between the two, but it’s the power the chip receives that matters, not just the voltage itself—voltage relates to how much power the chip gets, while the CPU handles each core separately.
Without any OC or with OC enabled, how much was it? I adjusted parameters such as CPU VID, Chip Vid, and HT Voltage, overclocking RAM from 1,950V to 2,000V. I also raised the FSB from 1,600 to 2,000. I didn’t modify the processor clock directly.
The mainboard can only handle up to 2gb per socket, but that doesn’t mean it’s unsuitable. You might try a 4gb module to see if it works; the memory controller is built into the CPU and can address 16gb. The GT710 graphics card is quite slow, possibly the main issue rather than the CPU. An R7 250 would perform much better. The HD 7770/R7 250X offers a significant boost compared to the R7 250, especially if you find a budget-friendly option.
It seems I had to stick with that arrangement temporarily... I'm facing significant financial challenges. .-
