The graphic card I am currently using is an Gforce FX 5200. I know how to overclock it, but what I would love to know is how much shoud I overclock it (I don't want to damage my PC) If you know how much I should overclock this card, please reply!

Overclock until you see artifacts(screen goes all wierd) then turn it down a notch. The mem core is usually what gives artifacts. Welcome to the forum!

my fx 5200 runs on vstudios extreme g 71.20c drivers and clock frequency is 306 and mem frequency is 451. these are the best that scored me the most points i got 9504 in aquamark 1300 in 3dmark03 361 in 3dmark 05

post your scores after you overclock

 

[steveo42024]

Thats good for a 5200

my friend has a PNY 5200 128meg at 300/500 perfectly stable

it sounds weird, i have an MSI 5500 with the latest official drivers and mine maxes out at 333/463 but i dont run it that high, its at 310/451

uppin you agp voltage might help a bit and go a bit higher

 

[bigvaL]

agp voltage apparently helps very little.. thats what i've heard though, never tried it myself

plus when you start upping voltage you risk damaging the card

 

[steveo42024]

Dont up your voltage. Its a 5200

 

[PCNerd]

you can, cuz its a 40$ card. lol

I have Geoforce FX 5200. I overclock 270 core and 608 Mem. I clicked on Test changes and the screen is going crazy. It will not let me click on anything. I'm able to go in sefe mode. I removed Nvidia software, but I still have the same problem.
Thanks,

AGP voltage will do nothing in terms of helping to overclock your vid card. it is more likely to fry it.

[Azule]

If possible maybe you should reinstall the NVIDIA software and lower the clock speeds (might do something)

I think I have the lates driver from November. Should I install the beta driver, but I have to do it in Safe mode. Normal mode will not let me do anything
