XFX Geforce 7300GT

[cxz001]

Hey, guys,


I just bought an XFX Geforce 7300 GT 512DDR II today. ( http://www.microdimensionsdirect.com/xfx_geforce_7300gt,M003993336-59.html )


I wish to overclock it a little bit. Any advice / past experience with it? Is this card overclockable? What tools should I use to overclock it?


Thanks

Rivatuner is what i use

I doubt overclocking is going to help that card very much, its pretty darn slow to start.

Please tell me u didnt get it because it has 512 megs of video memory? thats a pretty over the top amount for such a low end card

It's slow? Is it not fast compared to 5700FX?

It is likely faster than the FX5700, but it's still not a fast card. 512MB is overkill for a card like that. For the same price, you could have picked this up http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161194

It just barley has an edge on the FX 5700 AGP

ram size says absolutely nothing about video gaming performance, and "More/Bigger is always better" ( Bigger Numbered card, extra letters like GT, Pro, Ultra, More Memory) isnt always true, especially in this case

you definitely wasted $75 for that card so why didnt you do a little research before making that purchase? you could have bought a much faster card for that price. an 8500gt is cheaper and faster and hell an 8600gt can be had for around $10 more and is about 3 times faster. also that card cant even utilize 256mb so 512mb is completely useless.

to be fair, he could have done worse on a 512MB 7300GT:

This card is extremely slow and outdated by today's standards. It was good back in 2003/04 as a midrange, but not anymore. Even the 7300GT was never a "good" gaming card uless you plan on playing games at 1024x768 with all settings on low (current games excluding Crysis).

Even though it has 512MB of memory, the tiny memory bus width and weak GPU power will not allow this thing to even get close to resolutions or texture/shader settings that would use 512MB. It would be pushing it with 256MB.

Crysis won't even be playable on the lowest settings.

Hell, it only beats the card in my sig by a little bit (which was a garbage card to begin with, using it as a temp).
