    Might not be drivers for Vista yet. See if there is a version of Rivatuner for vista.

    So anyone tried Overclocking with Rivatuner in Windows Vista? Is so what exactly did you do?

    Vista hasn't honestly been a huge interest on the computing community for a boatload of reasons, give it some time before more people try.

    Some GPUs are better than others at overclocking. I'm assuming by your post that these settings are unstable.

    When I took it slow, I found that the 480/369 settings that Donald posted in the beginning of this thread were right on the money for my GPU. My optimal frequencies were very low, so I went up slowly and tested with each new setting.

    Yeah 479-480 is definitly as high as you wanna go. I could make it go up to like 494, but anything higher than what I have now makes the entire laptop lockup during a game. You cant even do ctrl-alt-delete. I have to take the battery out and unplug it. So turning the core up wont artifact(at least until you hit ~499), but it sure does like to freeze. The memory is what really stimulates the artifacting, ~379 is fine.

    When it freezes like that, I think u can just hold down the power button for few seconds and it'll turn off. This way you don't have to pull the battery.

    Realized Riva Tuner not making me pass 480 on the core speed.
    And i cant pass 386 memory sumtimes.
    Did my last bench marks until i got unstablity and artifacting
    480/380 - 3756
    480/385 - 3781/3761/3776
    480/386 - 3750 (Seems Unstable)
    480/390 - Unknown (I cancelled there was artifacting)

    Suh i guess 480/385 is as far as i go then. :D with points of 3781/3761/3776

    Darkdragon541--you'll know artifacting when you see it. There will be things onscreen that just shouldn't be there. Could be lines, spots, pixels, etc.

    it is my impression that every computer is not exactly the same, even if it has the exact some components as another one, especially if the computers are from different ODMs and OEMs

    My stock 3DMark05 was about 3080 I think (which is what I use the majority of the time anyway). Synthetic benchmarks don't matter as much as your in-game experience. I don't think the extra 3DMarks would translate into much performance there. The 1 GB of RAM may be holding you back a little in the benchmark though.

    Great tip Paladin44,


    Just got my brand new HEL80, WXGA+ 1680*1050,CORE2DUO T7200, 1GB 667RAM, 100GB 7200 DISK, DVB-T TUNER,BT..


    Original 3DMark05: 3097

    The Geforce (coolbits) software suggested OC to Core:389MHz RAM:435 Mhz. This setting was stable.

    Tuned it further to Core/Mem: 510/435 (Not optimal)
    3DMark05: 4173.
    I think they must have upped their mem chips.

    Anyway I am quite pleased with everything, except the touchpad. The pointer jumps to the scroll bar when trying to scroll in Firefox and some other apps. Very annoying. Must be a bad driver by elantech.

    Excellent overclocking there. Just make sure to pull them back if it shows any signs of instability in the future. SSJ3Goku had some excellent overclocks too for a while, but it ended up being unstable after a while.

    No, it cannot be. I don't know why you would want to even if you could, though. The go 7600 cannot effectively use an extra 256 MB of VRAM. It's more of a marketing ploy than anything.

    Did you get your system from powernotebooks? Maybe Donald would be willing to try testing again on one of their stock machines to see if they really have upped the video cards a little.

    My guess is that they (the makers of the video card) are using left over parts from more agressive gear (clocked down for the sale) to clear out inventory for new components that are surely coming in or will be coming in shortly...

    I got my clocks to like 485/385 or something at the highest, theres no way in hell he got his clocks as high as he did. The card literally wont let you run the core past 499, and card fails if the memory hits past 399. Its wierd like that, but true. Unless they switched the card to the GT version, which they havent, theres no way. I know all cards can overclock a tad different...but not that much...510/435..*not optimal*...bs

    Take a look here:

    Sorry for the norwegian text in first picture. And regarding not optimal, I stopped at 510 core, without having reached any problem.

    It's not BS necessarily. My clocks went just above 500 before I noticed instability, though that may have been only initially. If he got better ram on his card, then it could overclock to that speed.

    Heheh. I feel like, if I could wish hard enough, I could get my HEL80 to give me 4k 3dmarks too...

    I think you missed the second part of my post. Even if you could, there is really no reason to do so. Unlike some of the more powerful mobile GPUs, the go 7600 is not fast enough to effectively use 512 MB of VRAM, so you would be spending money to get practically no performance gain. The extra 256 MB of VRAM is more of a marketing ploy than anything to make the 512 MB version seem more powerful. It really isn't.

    Also keep in mind that every card has different overclocking ability. pyro may be onto something with what he said about higher-end memory getting put into the newer GPUs.

    Mine pretty much matches Donald's test unit--480/369 is about as far as I can push either way (core or memory).

    I havent actually tried any of this yet because i dont think it will be worth it if you have to keep changing it back and forth (graphic intensive - nongraphic intensive)...

    So basically im asking if there is a way that you can underclock it if you are just doing stuff like surfin the net and then when you start up a game it will automatically go to normal performance without you doing anything?

    Also how bout linux (ubuntu)?

    Yes, you can do that. The reverse is also true for overclocking.

    The stock video driver was pretty good, but the best you'll want is the recommended NVIDIA general driver 84.25. Heres the link, make sure you follow all steps. There may be other drivers in the 80 and up series, but this one works great for me. http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=9175

    I think your expectations may be too high for the performance gains you'll see with a new GPU driver.

    The sticky was removed when activity on this thread died down. We try to keep the number of stickies per forum down to avoid clutter.

    A popular thread will generally keep itself afloat at the top of a forum even if it's not stickied. I shall sticky it again for now.

    has anybody found out if the 7600's in hel80's have better memory now? i'm really curious. if so, i might be buying a hel80 asap. i've been searching and the hel80 seems to have the best price/performance/batterylife ratio and faster memory only sweetens the deal.

    Are you talking about clock speed of the memory in the video card?

    If so, the answer is no, but as many have said here the current core and memory clock speeds are fine in real world gaming. Way too much emphasis has been put on the mythical "under clocking" of this video card. It is clocked right were Compal wants it, and it works great.

    I can agree with Donald here. I have done some overclocking on my go 7600, but leave it at stock settings 99% of the time. When I do push the clock settings higher, I personally do not really notice a whole lot of difference--although as I found with FRAPS, the FPS are a little higher.

    I've got driver 84.25, and so far I think it's the best one I've found both higher and lower.. It doesn't take anything that isn't stock speeds, but my frames have gone up a ton because it allowed more many more resolutions that I was missing with the stock drivers.

    Hi everyone,
    I know my computer is not a Compal HEL80 but i compare my GO 7600 OC result:
    I use nvidia forceware 92.91
    Core: 492 / memory: 401 (stable)
    My result in 3D mark 05 is 4000+ ;)

    Welcome to the forums, and welcome to the Compal forum!

    Those are some nice overclocks. That's awesome if it holds at those settings. Nice benchmarks!

    Thanks man, i have OC the core to 500 step by step, it's stable but 70° Celcius in FEAR (20 minutes). Do you think it's too hot ? The memory max OC is 403 Mhz, 406 it's not stable.
    Now i need to test OC 500/403 in FEAR during many hours.
    The same Fujitsu siemens Amilo use a different card: ATI X1800, i think it's the same cooling, it'll explain the nice overclocking.
    (sorry for my english)
