question about OC'ing my G73JH

I recently installed FFXIV on my G73 and put all the settings on high and put AA at 2x thinking my beast could handle it... it couldn't. it was laggy as hell, so I wanted to OC my 5870 to see if it would run more smoothly. I am using AMD's GPU clock tool and set the clocks to 800/1100. When I ran this clock I could only run COD:BO because my college sucks and blocks alot of games, but it ran with no problems at all. I tried puting the clocks up to 825/1150 and opened BO and it played for like 5 minutes then the graphics card stopped working. I am just curious if anyone else out there has the 5870 clocked higher than that and is able to play games without it crashing.

Yeah, AA really stresses the ATI cards, for some reason. I can clock up to about 875 / 1210 iirc ...



But each card is different. I bet your card runs cooler than mine :P

You need to remember that Mobility cards are not for hardcore gaming they should be able to run most games at full hd and high and some in ultra but they do not give what a desktop card can for instance the 5870m has 800 madd cores and desktop 1600.



FFXIV is extremely demanding as well you just have to run the benchmark to see that because I only get 3500 score which says you can run it medium to high but not at full HD and that was with my 5870 running at 800/1100 so overclocking is not going to make a lot of difference but will burn your temps. FFXIV has been massively critisised also for being poorly made and patches will probably gradually sort out the problems.



Also overclocking changes from game to game I can run BO at 900/1150 and it runs fine at 89oC max but if I try and overclock even a little with Gothic 4 Arcania it stops responding straight away. As DCx says it changes from board to board.

I run at 75C playing BO with an 800/1100 clock

Sorry I should have been more clear I max out at 76oC but I always take the highest temperature through HWinfo32 which shows u all sections of the GPU and they vary. The dispIO is normally the lowest. Memory and diode are normally 10oC higher so you will probably be running about 87/88oC if you check HWinfo.

uhh, no I use HWinfo32 and my GPU thermal diode maxes out at 75C, which is the hottest, when playing BO. I think the dispIO is usually around 70-73 now. I used to run around 89C but I just repasted my GPU with arctic silver and it dropped my temps by 10C.

Sounds like you had a very good repaste experience then im due to do mine again soon as my temps differ a lot and I reckon the previous bloke did not repaste properly, until I get BSOD though im just gonna leave it the ol dont fix unless its broke myth.

Pshhh



870/1150 @95C in Furmark FTW



Oh and my top OC doesnt work in every game either, especially SCII multiplayer

Haven't wasted my time with FFXIV since the beta, but disabling ambient occlusion and depth of field should make the program run more smoothly [Heck, even my Desktop AMD X6 OC'd to 4Ghz with a desktop 5870 card had issues with those two options enabled]

thnx for that info, cuz I think I have both of those enabled.





And to Dallers, yes I had a very good repaste experience. I had my step-dad apply the paste since I've never done it before, although this is my first laptop, and as he was applying the paste he says, "all you need is a little dab in the middle of the chip there and it'll cover the chip once you put the heatsink back on". He completely disregarded his advice and smothered the entire chip in arctic silver thermal paste however, I think I nicked something while I had the laptop torn apart, because my HWinfo does not register my CPU fan speed anymore :/
