DaddO Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 HP dv6000z , dual core Athlon CPU, XP Home SP2, 1GB 666Mhz RAM of which 256 MB is shared with gforce 6150. 9792 drivers and ntune 5.05.25.00 The system tune function seems to work fine (overclocks Athlon CPU and adjusts RAM timing). But when I try the automatic GPU optimising it lowers the speed from 425 to 403. The "test" button gives a failure result no matter what the setting is. I'm guessing I can't manually overclock the RAM because it is shared? Am I out of luck when it comes to overclocking my GPU? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smax Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Don't bother. That card isn't meant for anything past running applications or watching DVDs. If anything, you'll just burn out your card and destroy your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattman Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 You'll probably find the video bios is locked, meaning card is unable to be over/underclocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddO Posted February 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Unfortunately, this was a replacement notebook (original was unfixable from day one), and I was supposed to get a video card with it's own Video RAM (aka 7200). But the "Case Manager" messed up and I ended up with a 6150. I tried getting HP to fix the mistake, but the subsequent Case Manager was a complete bee-otch. If anybody thinks I can overclock the 6150 GPU....I'd appreciate the help. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
