HD2600/2400 Series Overclocking and Feedback thread

fadeaway · Dec 11, 2007

Oh, atitool works for these cards now? I thought I read somewhere that they didn't.

I meant ddr2 8600gts as plural of gt, sorry :laugh:

So is it best to edge the clocks up? If so, by how much each time? Do I have to keep memoy and clock speed at the same ratios? Or can I jut punch in one of your numbers and have it work?

& thanks for the welcome ^_^

pt · Dec 11, 2007

atitool worked for me

you don't have to keep them at the same ratios, but if you punch the core up until it's no longer stable, then put it at stock and do the same for ram, it's highly porbably that it won't run both at their max (personnal experience) so it's better to keep a ratio

Hi,

I'm owner of a HD2600 Mobility too; the Laptop might indeed be very simliar to yours (Also Toshiba, but A200-17O; well check system specs on the left) and performs mightly well for such a power saving gpu. I got it to 685mhz gpu and 570mhz ram 100% stable (meaning no Artifacts whatsoever, even in most demanding games. If I go to 700mhz with Core it artifacts somewhat in Crysis, so the 15mhz increase is not worth it. Anything over 570mhz kills the ram apparently (not enough Voltage or too strict timings?).

Anyhow this differs from Chip to Chip and (apparently) even program to program. With AMDGPUClocktool I can reach 570mhz on ram no problem; with ATITool it starts artifacting at anything above 540mhz already (but the program is much more stable than AMDGPUClocktool. Best would be to just try around a bit; you can't damage much as even at the highest clocks my Card doesn't go above the 60°C (with ATITool) or 55°C (with AMDGPUClocktool), both after extensive gaming, and I think it is supposed to work flawlessly up to at least 70°C...

And what I can tell of my experiences now with Toshiba is only top notch; got this laptop 4 months now and no problems whatsoever; not even a dead or light pixel on the screen.

Yeah looks like our notebooks are pretty much the same.
Wow that's pretty impressive, thanks for the input.

My old x1800 would begin artifacting after just a couple of hours low-intensive games such as wow, with no overclocks. I did use to run it games for whole days though, and will likely do the same with this one - so i'm thinking 600 core 500 memory, maybe a little higher on the core.. maybe..

Notebook check lists the hd2600 as having default clocks of 500 core / 600 memory though? Something wrong with your chips memory?

Ty for the replies :toast:

Yeah, I know... I guess that is the official clock given by Ati, but manufacturers usually don't hold temselves to that (600mhz is most likely a GDDR3 clock). Given most manufactureres still use DDR 2 for Graphics ram 570mhz is actually quite a good value.

pt · Dec 11, 2007

mine is ddr2 at 400mhz

Yeah don't worry pt; mine is too. I just overclocked it to 570mhz and it works like a charm.

pt · Dec 11, 2007

without much time i clocked it 580/486mhz
will try more when i'm on vacation
do you have temp control?

You can check your temps with the AMDGPUClocktool. Go to the second tab (Thermal Sensors) and click on "ASIC Temperature via internal TSS" check the box in the lower right bottom that says "Enable Reading" and click on Start.

There you go; it should now display the current value, min., max. and avarage of your GPU. :toast:

amd gpu clock tool doesn't open, it gives a error

pt · Dec 11, 2007

i redownloaded it, and it worked

temps work aswell
thanks

fadeaway · Dec 12, 2007

I'll report back with my findings once my supplier stops being crappy & i actually get what i paid for >_<

Then i'll likely need to fresh-install vista..

fadeaway · Dec 17, 2007

Stock settings @ 500 Core, 400 memory. 6035 3DMark 05.
Overclocked @ 681.75 Core, 522 memory. 7420 3DMark 05.

Didn't even break 35c(95f) for temperatures.
Very, very impressed with this graphics card in my notebook. Runs very well, and overclocks sweetly.

thats damm good on the core!!

Hi people. Its nice to see some of you have managed to scare your mobility 2600 a bit.

Im having problems in the amdgpu program since I cant make a choise between 2d and 3d. Everything is grey :/

If I up the clock just a tiny bit, the system will more or less hang.

I can see the clockspeeds and I notice change when I turn pp on and off. Temperature monitoring also works.

Im sitting on a asus f8sa (ddr2, 512mb) with modded 7.10 drivers.

Is there any possible solution to this? Or is it some evil hardware thingy from asus making it impossible to change speeds?

Support for mobility 2600HD in ati-tool would be awsome! Do you think it will be implemented?

Hi,

yes, the AMDGPUClocktool is quite unstable; so I suggest you use the newest AtiTool 0.27 Beta 3 or 4. Works perfectly on Mobility cards, but for some reason you have to let Powerplay running (in Max. Performance Mode, or you'll experience a crash) and then clock to your desired clock. Oddly you can't go back to powersaving Powerplay through CCC anymore (works again after System reboot), that is why I prefer the AMDGPUClocktool. But in terms of stability and user friendlyness I'd go with AtiTool.

B-E-A-utiful!

Thanks. Cant understand why I had not tried that version.

Now it works to overclock although you have to be careful with how you handle the 3d-view or things might get a bit unstable. Gonna go play wih it now!

Again, thanks a lot!!

EDIT: The fun diddnt last that long because when I try to get above 550-560 on the core the screen turn black and the system reboots. Im going to see if I can up the mem a bit too, atleast.

Regards

Hey guys, im pretty new here on the board but I read allot of threads regarding overclocking the hd2900xt.
Myself I run on a Asus P5wdg2 Pro with an e6600 so there is room for cf but 2900xt costs allot these day's. Its btw a Club3d HD2900xt and I have some problems with it.
Most of the time when I play frozen throne (not even gpu intensive) my pc just goes off and on again. I tried to up the vcore with the bios mod and succeeded only thing is on air its getting kinda hot

anyone else havving that?

Athlon2K15 · Dec 22, 2007

possibly download rivatuner or atitool and make that fan spin 100% all the time

AciDCooL · Dec 22, 2007

Been there done that, but the funny thing is rivatuner detects 105C = 100% in auto mode.. so it wont harm the gpu when it reaches 105?? I rly doubt that but @ the moment its 77C load so should be fine havent done stress tests so far

Herman · Dec 23, 2007

Is it possible to somehow see the voltage on the mobility card?

Athlon2K15 · Dec 23, 2007

i dont think there is any software that detects voltage as of this time

AciDCooL · Dec 23, 2007

Anyone busy with finding the temps offsets in the bios files yet?
Kinda late here guess im off to bed and ill search some bios files for known speeds in the morning. nn all

edit:
Here my org bios and my edited one (with corrected crc) 2d speeds: 250/250 vc: 1 3dspeeds: 800/1000 vc: 1.2
for: Club3d HD2900XT 1GB DDR4

http://tinyurl.com/37t2h3

Dont know if this wil work on saphire cards cause my bios is bigger somehow so u r warned.

I had allot of crashes recently before I made my modded bios, now im not using any tool to adjust the fanspeed and it get 95C max on those clocks. But its not 100% fanspeed.. more like 4600rpm out of 5500rpm +-80%..
But since im not using any speed adjust tool, I dont have any crashes anymore.. But still missing out on the 100% fanspeed guess that kicks in after 95C wich i dont get.. hope rabit updates soon
