As the title suggests, post your clock settings for core and memory here for the fx5600.

Thanks.
 
I don't have a 5600, but I do have a 5700. It's setting in the closet, covered in dust.
 
Stay calm I have been in the same situation you need to press the "return to present" button on the time machine. I am sorry I thought the FX days would never haunt me again, but here we are face to face for one last battle.........

FX 5600 settings (I believe its the Vanilla?)
Overclock: 425mhz core/ 820mhz memory
I can't remember what the exact limits are but they should be higher than that. I use to do some video card benchmarking and I had that recorded in a text document. For some reason I only have one entry for the card, which wouldn't surprise because it was a weak card.
Anyways do you have an ULTRA or vanilla? Have you tried digging up some old benchmark archives yet? Have you considered upgrading and is there a certain title that you enjoy playing that you are trying to get this card to run better? Just trying to assist thats all.
 
Thanks for your replies Vogar.
Rivatuner just says fx5600 so I presume that would be the vanilla variety.
I did a brief search for 5600 overclocking settings but didn't retrieve much info in the time I searched, I though people on here might be able to give me a better round of results just so I know what to expect.
I used to be able to play CS:S on ok settings, now I have EVERYTHING to the minimum at a res of 800*600 and it still stutters. I'm not quite sure why performance has got worse, I don't know if this is right but I have a feeling that when my hard drive is more full, the game runs slower, this could just be a random occurance of course.
I didn't think the fx5600 was THAT rare a card, last time I saw a survey done on CS:S the majority of the cards there were the fx5600...I think.
Yes I have thought of upgrading, I'm planning on getting a whole new rig relatively soon.

you look at the survey the last few day? like 10% are 8800 more then any other card and you dont even see a 5x00 card till way down the list
 
guys don't take the piss im running a pci 5200fx until i get my new card :confused:


cant remember the clocks but it does overclock quite a bit
 
The specs I posted earlier where for the Ultra. Sorry it took me a while to figure that out. Anyways I guess if you are going to get a new rig pretty soon you probably won't have to worry too much more and it won't take you much to improve your CS:S experience with any other videocard over 50 dollars. I actually think you are kind of lucky in a way. Think about it if you go out and buy a 8xxx or 2xxx series from Nvidia or ATI you will have succesfully skipped over 2 whole generations of video cards. By the way would you mind telling us what kind of system you are running.
 
Last time I took the survey was about August. I remember because I was amazed at the number of fx5600 cards in use.
The current system I'm using:

asus a7n8x-x
1024mb pc133 RAM
80GB ata HD
geforce fx5600
23" Samsung SyncMaster 1100p (BRILLIANT! Cost me something stupid like £25 through ebay, most likely my best purchase EVER)

Everything else is generic. It was a good machine three years ago...
