ePSXe = Great (again)

Asz · April 20th, 2002

Well somehow I got a spped boost in FF8 scince last time I used it (last time being too long ago) and now I get a steady 55 fps with FF8, but that might be because I finally got to overclocking my TNT2 to dangerous levels.

Either way, I thought i'd remind everyone how great ePSXe is.

Syed Fawad · April 20th, 2002

AGAIn, how do u overclcok a TNT2?

**Demigod** · April 20th, 2002

You can use a program like PowerStrip to do it. There's also a way to enable core and memory clock adjustments in the display properties on the detonator drivers but I'm not sure how to enable it.

**Shiori** · April 20th, 2002

I think Rivatuner can do that....

reaper-x · April 20th, 2002

you can enable the overclocking options in Display properties by using a coolbits registry. Try searching the net for a "Coolbits" registry btw i always using display properties panel to overclock my card

**Demigod** · April 20th, 2002

Well, the overclocking option somehow got enabled in the display properties when I installed PowerStrip. It probably enabled something in the registry.

wow..... now this is a miracle...... it was a long time sice Asz went away to play with his gamecube.......

Rivatuner will let you set higher clock rates than the control panel, if your card can handle it...

Syed Fawad · April 20th, 2002

Is there any risk of frying something?

April 20th, 2002

Yes

There always is with overclocking. Having said that, I do it all time and I've never damaged anything

Generally, you will start getting screen corruption and/or instability before you reach the point where you actually break something. Just make sure to increase the clock in small increments, say 5MHz at a time.

Syed Fawad · April 20th, 2002

where can I get these software? Rivatuner for eg, and which one is the best? then again, is the difference noticeable? u can get my specs in the profile. Thanks

April 20th, 2002

Just do a search on Google.

I like RivaTuner because it has a help file that actually tells you what every option does.

Neojag · April 20th, 2002

yes, RivaTuner is indeed great, and packs 2 types of overclocking... use the one that suits u best

i had my card overclocker in +17mhz Memory / Core but i started getting bad poligons in Grandia II

now im @ +10 each

reaper-x · April 20th, 2002

And dont forget one thing after overclock your card do some test with Artifact Tester to test your card if your card isn't showing any Artifact then u can overclock it more. btw here's link for artifact tester progz http://www.darkhardware.com/files/artifacttest5.zip

RhombusYSS · April 20th, 2002

Man I wish I could overclock my card. I can, but even raising clock speed by 5 mhz I start getting red dots and artifacts all over the place. And my system is extremely cool, temp levels are always good, guess my card just doesn't like to be overclocked

Asz · April 20th, 2002

RivaTuner?! Never heard of that, I use the best, NVMax is where it's at.

I managed to up my core speed about +20mhz and my memory speed to +15, kinda amazed anything hasen't blown yet. But everything seems to be working fine, I get a few extra frames with MOHAA now and loading for some games seems a little faster.

P.S. - What are some programs to check your internal temperatures? I used to know them back when I wanted to overclock my celeron (

) but when I check about overclocking mine was one of the models that you couldn't overclock.

reaper-x · April 21st, 2002

If u want to monitor your CPU temp u can use progz like Motherboard Monitor

Syed Fawad · April 21st, 2002

only 20MHz? I raised it by 80 MHz and system freezed within 15 mins. What is the maximum core processor speed that a Tnt2 M64 can perform at?

zerocopy · April 21st, 2002

I maybe wrong but i think its 150 mhz

Syed Fawad · April 21st, 2002

U may be right cos I forced it to run at 160 MHz and it froze my Windows, XP.
