How do I overclock 5200fx

[Guest]

I read somewhere that by overclocking my 5200fx I might get similar
performance to the 5700 if that makes sense.

I also heard it involves a registry hack to be done each time on startup.

How do I overclock the 5200fx? If you post here I would be grateful if you
could also forward to me e-mail.

Odds are you have one of the 64 bit 5200's(128 bit extremely rare) and if
that's the case, you won't get close to a 5700's performance no matter what
you do. The only thing you can doe is overclock the mem a little.
Overclocking the core on this is asking for trouble.

The registry hack is found at www.guru3d.com among others, search for
"coolbits" (there's 2 version, you want the one for 4x.xx and above),
then the procedure is similar to the older method described here
http://www.besty.org.uk/overclocking/gfoc_step_3.htm (sorry, rather old
site, never bothered updating).

No hope of that, especially in any game using shaders.

Other people already helped you so I don't need to.
