Need help in overclocking the mobility radeon 3650

Need help in overclocking the mobility radeon 3650 in windows 7 x64 in a Dell Studio 1737....I have tried almost anything except video bios mod....

Thanks

 

Have you tried Rivatuner's latest

yeah,the program sees the card but there is no overclock tab....

 

Anybody have an other idea ?

I can confirm that the above program works for my 1737. Also, any ATI driver older than, i believe, 8.10 can be overclocked with the ati clock tool ver 9.8. I HAVE been able to load older drivers with windows 7, but it is a pain.

I did notice something strange though, with older drivers and the ati clock tool, i could OC the core all the way up to 675 mhz with no problems, with GPUtool i can only get it to 590 before it starts to give me problems. Posted about it on the GPUtool forum, but didnt get a response. The actual stock clock speed for the 3650 is supposed to be 600 mhz, but dell has them underclocked. I only got another 50 mhz out of the vram. Im rather annoyed that dell went with DDR2 for the video memory.

Ideally id like to be able to modify the 3650's bios, but as far as i can tell, this doesnt seem to be possible with this particular laptop/GPU

 

Rivatuner works fine just need to add the info on your device in rivatuner config, I believe. At least that's what works for me with 4650. GPUTool also works fine.

Check out this thread.

 

I used techpowerup!'s GPUTool to overclock mine, but imo, the performance boosts were negligible and not worth the increased heat and power consumption.

 

On 4650, I got about 15-20% performance increase (6500 to 7800 in 3dmark06 alone). Haven't had a chance to do significant testing in actual games.

 

What version of the drivers are you all using ?

you said In need 8.10 but I only have the 32 bit version of these old
drivers so do you thing it would work anyway in Win7 64x or do I need
absolutely 8.10 64x and if so where do I get them ?

Thanks

 

Here are the details of my ATI 3650 in my Dell Studio 17.

As you can see the driver is the latest one from ATI website (obviously modded using mobility modder).

Driver Version = 8.681.0.0
Driver Date = 24/11/2009

Catalyst 9.12

My clock is 600MHz
My memory clock is 530MHz
I'm using a ZALMAN laptop cooler.

 

You did not read his post properly.

 

I tried the tools you said and when I click apply after changing the clocks nothing happens in cpu-z....we do not have the same video bios so could that be the problem ?

 

Your right. Bios is different version. I am not sure fi this makes a difference..

Try updating to the latest drivers.. I can see yours are out of date...

Worth trying I suppose...

 

OOh and I just got Rivatuner working with my 3650 yay!

Find:

Scroll down and find

Then add this

It will look like this

Save. And Voila. Rivatuner works

 

Does not work either with rivatuner

btw who is the girl in your avatar ?

 

yo just2exy i got basicly same cpu as u it 1737 dual core 2.2 ati 3650 gputool overclocks but it stops when i load any game how?

 

This thread is over a year dead, and just2exy hasn't made a post in 4 months, so I doubt you'll get a reply from him. As far as gpu tool goes, what exactly happens when you start a game? If the screen goes black, then you get a video driver error, then you've overclocked too high, and you need to turn it back a notch.

 

basicly when i run furmark i get artifacts or the games go black and freeze i got same exact cpu as him and same card yet whenever i try to overclock it freaks on me so far i got it overclocked at 460/550 from the 450/500 it starts at anything else it trips im trying to figure out how to find right ratio and i feel stupid lol sorry ill check dates more on these im new to the hole forum thing
