RS880M HD4200 Overclocking on a laptop.

AphexDreamer · Jan 28, 2010

I'm on a mission to overclock my 4200 onboard on my laptop. I've gotten really close but I'm afraid to continue and would like to hear some input.

I've used GPUz to get the Device ID of the Chip and the copied and pasted the ID in the RV620 section of the Rivatuner Config File.

This let Rivatuner open up the Low Level System Settings and allows me to see and adjust the clock on my Chip. It also reports the clocks as being 200mhz when every sites I go to claims it should be 500mhz. UVD?

My concern starts hear. As Soon as I up the core clock by 1mhz I get artifacts. I can't understand this, could 1mhz really be that intense? When I restart everything is fine but why does this happen?

Please don't say I shouldn't be Overclocking a laptop but I just have to or at least try too. (I don't plan on messing it up though.)

lol ok no replies but for any1 else who might find the info useful.

I figured out why I get the Artifacts on just 1 mhz increase.

My Core Clock is 500 and My Mem clock is 400.

When I go to riva tuner it reports 200 for core and 500 for Mem, this is false.

If I set the 200 to 201 and hit apply it also applies the 500 to the Mem thus overclocking it and causing artifacts. At least this is what I think to be the cause. Now If I can just get Riva Tuner to report the right clocks or at least get it to go higher than 300 on the Core I might be able to OC this thing.

IS BEEN DONE! Power STRIP OVERCLOCKED IT.

This thread can be closed. Thanks for the help ppl lol.

Dude, you were too fast..

I was just going to tell you that I overclocked the HD3200 in my Acer Ferrari One using Powerstrip

However, those 200MHz you see must be because the IGP throttles down when you're in 2D mode.
When you play a game, it should clock automatically to the default 500MHz.

Try to run the ATITool artifact scanner and the GPU-Z at the same time, without overclocking the IGP. It should go to 500MHz automatically.

BTW, the HD4200 isn't a RV620, it's a RV615.

Hey I've tried PowerStrip in my Mobility Radeon 4200 but I cannot see any difference in performance. My setting is 600/533.

Am I missing something here? What is your setting?

Thanks

Hey people,

Please tell me which notebooks do you have. I have an HP DV4-2014BR (from Brazil) which comes with the HD4200 on the RS880M chipset. Some specs: AMD Turion II M500 (2,2GHz) with 4GB DDR2-800 (HTT-1800MHz). I am kinda afraid to overclock this since it's a notebook. Please suggest some values for a start (for some reason I can't see the GPU temperature since it won't show me).

Thanks!

PS: also, don't know why but when I try to run ATI Tray Tools it gives me the blue screen.

jcmarfilph · Apr 3, 2010

ATI Tray or ATI Tool wont work.

PowerStrip will be able to overclock ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 but for unknown reason, OC has no gain or effect at all.

I have an HP DV4-2014BR notebook and for some reason I can't open PowerStrip.

Specs are HD4200 Mobility with Windows 7 Home Premium x64. Strange thing is that I can't grab the GPU temperatures even on AMD Overdrive - I think these values are blocked on the BIOS or something.

Which version of PowerStrip are you guys using?

erocker · Apr 4, 2010

Have you tried AMD GPU Clock Tool, Afterburner or anything else?

prankstare · Apr 4, 2010

Guys, I may have found out why overclocking with PowerStrip won't result in any performance gain: the answer is simple, it just does not change the clocks. You can set whatever you want in PowerStrip that it will not change the hardware clocks. I have seen this using an extended monitor with the AMD Overdrive Utility to watch the GPU clocks while running a game. (PS: the only PowerStrip version that worked with my Windows 7 Home Premium is the latest 3.87 - you can test it yourself if you want).

@erocker: no, I haven't. Will be testing these two in a minute. Thanks!

Reefer86 · Apr 4, 2010

ive heard you can just use overdrive to over clock the onboard.

prankstare · Apr 4, 2010

Neither AMD GPU Clock Tool nor AMD Overdrive Utility will overclock the onboard HD4200 on the RS880M.

prankstare · Apr 4, 2010

Guys, I think I am almost there with RivaTuner. But I need a little help with something, very quick.

Okay here's the thing: RivaTuner says my driver is an unsupported one so it won't show the "Customize" button to allow to overclock it. But I've found out that I can change the "RivaTuner.cfg" file to make it supported. All I have to do is find out the PCI DeviceID of the HD4200 on my system and add it to the NV4B line of [GPU_10DE] section (RivaTuner.cfg file). But which one is it (below)?

jcmarfilph · Apr 4, 2010

[GPU_1002]
RV620 = 95C0h,1002h-9712h

[Northbridges]
VEN_1002_DEV_9712 = ATI RS880M

[VEN_1002]
DEV_9712 = "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200"

The major problems are, it cannot detect the GPU Clock properly and adjusting it will cause artifacts as stated by AphexDreamer

Maybe someone should contact the author of RivaTuner

Rivatuner doesn't support mobile GPUs.
Use Powerstrip.

jcmarfilph · Apr 4, 2010

We already tried PowerStrip. Kindly read previous posts.

Powerstrip wont work

I guess the HD4200 owners are out of luck, then.. With the HD3200 it works fine.

The rivatuner creator has been questioned about mobile GPUs before and he always answers that he won't support moiles.. sorry.

I've tried modifying the clocks using RivaTuner and changing the RivaTuner.cfg file worked. It did change the clocks, but artifacts started showing all over the desktop screen and I had to reboot.

@jcmarfilph: have you tried any other OC'ing software for this? I am willing to try MSI Afterburner...

Also, I think the CPU-Z is showing the wrong graphics memory clocks here... AMD Overdrive Utility should be more accurate (correct me if I'm wrong though)... CPU-Z gives 196MHz and 497MHz (core: idle/stress) and 364MHz (memory) but never changes. AMD Overdrive shows 196MHz/497MHz for the core and 300MHz/500MHz for the graphics memory.

jcmarfilph · Apr 4, 2010

You know I find that artifacts thing temporary. If you will launch a 3D application those artifacts will go away. I am still investigating on this thing...

jcmarfilph · Apr 4, 2010

MSI AfterBurner can detect the clocks properly but won't allow to change it. When you hit apply, value will return to its default value. What a bummer... >_<

prankstare · Apr 5, 2010

Hum. You know, there's a very weird thing about changing the clocks on this GPU: for example, on idle the clocks are 200/500MHz and on stress they are 500/500MHz. When I try to overclock them with RivaTuner, it detects the clocks as on idle (200/500MHz) and not on full power as it should've been. So I wonder how can I change the clocks manually if ATI PowerPlay will then automatically manage them according to usage?

I am not sure if even changing these values on RivaTuner is ever changing anything...

You can disable ATI Powerplay in CCC.
