No, there is NOTHING to fix. They are grayed out because the Go5200 does not allow any of those low-level settings. Instead, use the Driver settings to change the core and memory frequency. Click on the Customize... button in the Driver section and select System Settings. Hope that helps you some!
Running (laptop modded) 66.81's with SBA @ 245/515 (using RivaTuner) on the 5200 (32Mb), 266 DDR on my Toshiba M2. Not too bad.
hi adrian! nice work! i have a little question how it is posted the memory bandwidth before and after recloked the M30! thank!
ok! how i makes to post the result of bandwidth? ex: Memory Bandwidth Up to 9.6GB/s 6.48GB/s 8.21GB/s 26.67%
Oh I see. You have to calculate the memory bandwidth yourself using this formula :- Memory Bandwidth (MB/s) = Memory Clock (MHz) x 2 (for DDR/DDR2 memory chips) x Memory Bus Width (bits) / 8 (to convert to bytes) Then to convert it to GB/s, simply divide the memory bandwidth in MB/s by 1000.
thank adrian! i have serious problem for overclocked my fx5200 64Mo with riva tuner above 230/440 many crash en graphic bug appear with 3dmark03 any idéas for stabilized the card?
That appears to be a problem with the Go5200. So far, most, if not all of the Go5200s don't seem to be able to reach their officially rated clock speeds.
i have a question...i have an inspiron 5150 with a gf fx 5200 go 32mb. I dled rivatuner and i tried going to customize in driver settings and i clicked on system settings. However, underneath the AGP tab, everything is grayed out, and I'm trying to enable that sideband thing, but it's off on default, and it's grayed out, so I can't control it. Any solutions for this? i use 66.10 drivers with 243/515 setting
You need to install RivaTuner's NVStrap driver. I think I covered this in some other threads. Here's one - http://forums.rojakpot.com/showthread.php?p=114234#post114234
hmmm oh ok, wait so tweaking teh settings under low system tweaks wont make the clock speeds under it into effect right? I htought you had to fix the AGP tab under the system tweak optinon anyways, anybody have an inspiron 5150 that has been able to reach higher than 245/515 with the 32MB one? if you have, tell me your system specs too
Hmmmn i read the review on the 5200 go. Now id like to point out a couple of things: 1.the 5200 does not run the same as some desktop versions 2.it does have DDR ram 3.many DESKTOP 5200fx cards only ran at 250mhz core clock have a look here http://www.jetway.com.tw/evisn/product/vga/nv34-serial/NV34_Series.htm not the best company card but its a nvidia 5200 chip,and youll observe it has duel 350mhz ramdac with 250mhz core clock and 200mhz (400mhz effective DDR) And youll find many examples of that within desktop cards. Heres another one: http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/v9520td/overview.htm Notice the highlighted card having 250mhz core and 400mhz memory. These are desktop cards. You have your wires crossed mate,i suggest you restore things before you overclock your computer and melt the chips.
Hello skull, You are right. The Go5200 is not the same as the desktop GeForce FX 5200. In fact, it has already been stated in the review that the Go5200 is a notebook GPU. And as stated in the review, the Go5200 uses DDR SDRAM. The official clock speeds for the Go5200 are 300MHz core and 600MHz DDR memory. That's why I stated that the Go5200 in our notebooks are effectively UNDERclocked. In our Maxxing The Go5200 guide, we were only trying to reclock the Go5200 to its official speeds. But as you can see, most Go5200 can't even reach the official clock speeds.
Hi there! I have a Geforce FX Go5200, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me where to find the most recent drivers for it? I checked all over the Nvidia site, but they don't seem to release drivers for the FX Go series anymore... If someone could link me to a website where I could download the most recent drivers, that would be great
Have you checked this forum thread, as well as that of the Maxxing The Go5200 article? Someone posted a link to the latest driver somewhere.
Over Clocking the go5200 Hi. I've recently read your article "Maxxing out the Go5200". I have an Inspiron 5150 with p4 3.06ghz, 80gb, 512mb,64 mb go5200 and I've been having problems playing 3d games like battlefield and NFSU2. I was wondering, what if you go over the values that you use to overclock the GPU, 243/513, to its real values at 300/600 or something higher than what you used, will it fry the GPU? I currently have it at 250/513 and so far no problems. Also, what do you think the maximum values would be for overclocking this GPU? Also, do you know if I can change the video card on this laptop or is it stuck as it is? Thanks.
Hello lavi48, Like we mentioned on many occasions, the only way to find out the limits of your GPU is to test it yourself. If you check the experiences of everyone in this thread as well as those in the thread for the Maxxing The Go5200 article, you will see that everyone's mileage with the Go5200 varies. So, try overclocking your Go5200 step by step. Once you encounter artifacts, you know you have gone a little too far. Downclock the Go5200 a little and you're set!
