Omega Driver?
Where can get that software?

google lah
easy

its an alternative driver for your graphic card.

http://www.omegadrivers.net/

seems to perform better than catalyst

i got erroro when loading catalyst
weird

Omega Drivers Can Straight Be Used For Overclocking aaa?
Sorry...
Newbie In Overclocking Graphic Cards...

use ati tool as I mentioned above lar...
it will test for the highest core speed ur card can archive
it also has temparature reading.. if ur gc has temp sensor

recommand use ATITools,that is proffessional for OC ATI Graphic Card..
RivaTuner is Proffessional for nVidia,but juz basic for ATI Graphic Card..
if want softmod, changing core name,all is using ATITools is best...

ATiTool is an overclocking utility which allows you to overclock your VGA card.
As for OmegaDrivers, it's an alternative driver apart from ATi's official Catalyst driver, which some people reported to say gives higher overclocks or better performance.

As for getting started, there's nothing to get started or to worry with.
JUST DO IT!
Well, slowly overclock with small increments.. maybe 5 to 10mhz.. (which I don't usually do.. )

Then try a 3dmark run test... Then if you see no artifacts on the 3dmark screens, then continue on..
Or you can use ATItool's scan for artifacts option to scan for artifacts.

All the best and have fun burning your GC~!

i tried omega
but many error (bugs)
i uninstalled it already

Bugs ? Are u sure ? I used it since Omega Cat 4.1 and they never give me any bugs. Did u install it correctly ?

OMEGA is pretty good , but if you installed it in the wrong way

After you have installed the driver , you would get a BLue screen of death ..you would need to delete it , delete ATI Drivers and re-install everything back]

Get OMEGA Drivers and overclock a little bit..You might see extra 10-12fps..

BSOD ? i never get any of those. Maybe u need to use Driver Cleaner Pro before installing any new drivers. Maybe there's some conflict with leftover files from previous drivers.

Already downloaded the omega drivers...
Sadly, i can't overclock my graphic card as it's already been locked by the manufacturer...

Anyone know how to unlock it?

Maybe the BIOS is locked to prevent overclocking. You might want to try getting an unlocked one for your card... or a BIOS that is compatible with yours.

Hor?

Try www.techpowerup.com. They have an extensive BIOS selection there... Unless you know what you are doing, do not just simply get a BIOS and flash to your heart's desire as you might end up with a huge paperweight.

Three main programs that you will need is a BIOS editor, a BIOS tester and the flasher. The programs I recommend are RaBIT, Rambios and Atiflash, respectively.

You must get the BIOS that uses the same type of memory that your existing card uses. And before you flash anything, it is VERY IMPORTANT that you test out the BIOS using Rambios. If you end up with corruption, that BIOS is not suitable for your card.

You should also have a backup PCI video card to boot your PC and reflash in case any problems result.

Use a program named ATI Tray Tools to dump your video card BIOS, then use RaBIT to inspect it.

Susahnye...
Ingat senang macam nak flash bios motherboard...

Sorry tumpang ur thread a while yeah, can i use rivatuner with my fx5200?

sure can...

Waahh...
Anyone here can teach me an easy way to update the bios of my graphic card?

vgaflash guide

btw I think x1300 only have 4 pipes, so nothing can be unlocked, not sure about vertex tho. gl

ATI flash is the most simple I think because flash from floppy. Just dl rom-flash bootdisk from www.bootdisk.com to replace startup disk, its much faster.

Arkh...
Need Some Professionals Help Here...

I'm afraid of changing VGA Bios...
If Motherboard BIOS, i can change it anytime...

But VGA Bios?

Does anyone near shah alam can help me?
Or anyone near subang?

I'd go to your house and bring my VGA card or i'd just bring my CPU coz, it seems like changing VGA Bios is kinda hard...

Anyone can help me?

My Power Color x1300 is a good Overclocking GC .. Yeah ... Luckily i get PowerColor ... Easy to OC .. No Locking also ... using ATI tool
Anyway , if you did not have your card OC from stock core 450MHz to 702MHz and Stock Mem 500MHz to 600MHz , the potential is of this GC not yet purely shown ... of course CM CoolViva Heatsink is needed... Haha ....

how bout X1600 pro ? can be unlock ? how much i can get if wanna oc dis card ?

If you use Powercolor ...
You can OC the Core to 650MHz with proper cooling and RAM ... ah ... hard to OC ... Can try to reach 900MHz and step by step up the line ...

currently got HIS X1600 pro Iceq for my 2nd rig.. don try yet to unlock . default setting is 500/800

The problem is...
My GC bios has locked it's overclocking potential...
Darn gecube...

If only i can overclock it...

Nothing can be unlocked from a x1600pro.

If got warranty,baik jangan flash bios..Nyway,jz my 2 cents..

True...
True...

Don't dare to try it...

Unless u are really pro in it...

just asking...

a HIS 256MB X1300 / 128BIT (HeatSink version, non Ice Qube)...


can it be overclocked?and is it worth the gains?

all gc's can be overclocked 1...

Just use ATi tools lah!

Either use ATI Tool or just download a new Omega Drivers From Omegadrivers.net...

It's practically better than the stock ATI driver...

i tried Omega..nice..with lots of features..cool!

Good...

Done overclocking?

Ah ... OC x1300 again ....
All GC can OC as long as it is cooled Perfectly

whats the gain ?
Can beat the PRO version lo ....
x1300 with 450MHz core OC to 702MHz can beat X1300PRO to the max
Since PRO only run @ 600MHz with a larger heatsink ....

OC GC Of course not chapalang HeatsinK la ...
Using Cheap CM CoolViVa will do

X1300 pro is run on 600MHz meh?
Sadly my graphic card can't be overclock since the bios have block from overclocking...
Damn...

I'm using a good heatsink, but can't overclock...
Damnit!!!

I been playing around wif the ATI Tool and 3DMark also... I actually very dis-sastify with my X1300 Pro, cos during purchase time I decided to spend extra on Processor and hold back on the GC (Since I use it for media centre).

My GC core is 600, memory is 400. So far for stability i tried:
620/420 No artifacts
630/430 Dam alot of artifacts

But as a 4-pipe 128 bit card I don't think you can see significant improvements.

HAHA ... What Brand you get oh ?
My POWER COLOR can OC till extreme la with good air cool heatsink ... 702MHz
Plan to put water cooling to BUMP it higher

So next time get POWER COLOR
No Locked BIOS or what so ever
One tips .. get those Graphic cards which had small heatsink and change them .... You can get Performance BOOM with low end cards

Mana aku tau gecube ni dia punya bios locked...
Kalau aku tau, aku pun taknak...

no need to play with BIOS also can wan.

my X800GT is 398/486 on default but on gaming mode, it runs at 591/560.

Oh ... Then GeCube think too much about PROFIT then ... because people will just buy cheap GC from them and OC to get a better rank than normal ...

Haha ... GeCube should be advoid ....

Anyway Locking bios also in an effort to prevent Warranty issues and conflict ... Is a lost for a company if their Product had been Destroy by OC and They can do anything about it

Haha .. anyway .. anyone Try HIS GC before ? can OC or not ?

Ah ... may be we should have a list of GC that can be recomend to OC members

using HIS x16pro. default 500/400 , oc yesterday.. manage can go up to 700/500.

His graphic cards are the best for ati...
