How To Overclock The Ati 5650?

[zeonzing]

Hi all

I have a sony vaio ea 16fg

i5 520m @ 2.4ghz
ati 5650 1gb which is downclocked by sony to 450 mhz

so far i have tried two tools

ati gpu clock tool and MSI afterburner but no success

in afterburner when i change the core clock and memory clock it won't save that profile thus it can't be loaded everytime it changes to default value
and in ati gpu tool there is no effect after changing maybe this is the old version

Here are the default settings detected by these two tools

so any of you can provide a link for a perfect tool to overclock this 5650 to 650 and please provide suggestions how to do it

This works:

AMD GPU Clock Tool v0.9.26.0 For HD 5870 download from Guru3D.com

I feel so sorry for you sad sacks who get the shaft from Sony. My Gateway runs the 5650 at stock clocks no problems.

The link given worked great for me. How high can you go before you get into trouble, or is heat the only real worry? Also, does this gain a lot performance?

The last link was good for me too.
But the engine value is 99.99 and memory is 149.97 and it goes up only when gpu is used more.
Is that normal?
Should not be showing the maximum values of the card?

Second question... if i set the clock at higher values, gpu will stay at these values that i have set or lower when not so much power is needed?

thnx for link man
but how does it work , by default it's showing 149 both engine and memory how do we apply new changed settings say to 650mhz?

n what will be the optimum setting(for best performance) for this card
Engine=?
Memory clock=?

how does it work
how did u apply the new settings to overclock?
like right now it's showing both engine and memory clock to 299 , so how we load the new setings coz after changing the values it's again showing the default previous values

n for u n what is the optimum setting(for best performance) for this card like in demanding games or applications
Engine=?
Memory clock=?

99.99 and 149.97 is because PowerPlay is enabled in CCC..Disable it if you want but if it is enabled then it maximizes battery life..If you go gaming your clocks will be high as much you clocked it.

As above, it shows 150/150 because that's what ATI's Powerplay downclocks the GPU to when it's not in use. Just put the numbers you want in the two boxes, then click "Set Clocks". When you're done gaming, make sure you click the "Restore Default Clocks" button or Powerplay won't work and you'll be running full power all the time.
