Overclocking x50v's Graphics Card!!!

[Dumbman1991]

is overclocking the x50v possibly dangerouse for the x50v

Are there any indications in 2700g-optimised applications where it is not fast enough?

Nope, it has seemed to keep up with every 2700g optimized program/game released.

Damages caused by overclocking would not be covered by warranty, if Dell knew that the damages were caused by overclocking.

Here is a quote from Viewsonic about their stance on overclocking their PDAs.:

Warranty 1-year limited warranty on parts and labor. Overclocking Warning - Intel® processors are validated and supported only when they are operated at their factory rated settings. Operating a processor faster than it was designed (overclocking) can cause permanent damage to the processor, and possibly other system components including the motherboard. Other negative results are possible including the inability to boot or calculation errors. Operating a processor outside of specification will likely shorten the life of the processor, and can also void any available product warranty. Overclocked processors can product unpredictable results or system instabilities, which might not be readily apparent. The life of the processor may also be shortened. The expected frequency is the frequency at which ViewSonic warrants the reliable performance of the processor. Damages caused by overclocking are not covered under warranty.

But they can't PROVE you were overclocking it, unless you left the files in ROM or something. Ok, so it's not morally correct, but it's possible.

Hi guys. I was just a little bit interested in the idea of overclocking 2700g chip, and I found out something that won't make you happy. 2700g chip's clock does not affect it's performance so much. In fact, when you clock the 2700g's core from 100MHz to 25MHz, the performance drop is only 7~15%. So to get some speed boost from 2700g, it's clock would have to be around 200+MHz which is really impossible. Too bad, but so true.

Yours sincerely,

I understand it's possible to overclock the CPU on a PPC. But on a Computer it's possible to overclock the GFX card's Cpu and Ram speed, since the X50v has one, is this also a possible option?

and how many times do we have to answer this question?



you cant, and even if you did, would you see that much benefit. you already have the fastest ppc on the market, cant you just be content with overclocking the regular processor?
