Leadtek A250 TD

[homeworld1031tx]

I have a Leadtek A250 TD and im thinking about how to clock it at really fast speeds. It has a huge HS and two 40mm HSF's and the memory is covered with the HS and HSF. In this book im reading called the The Extreme Gamer's PC by Loyd Case (or something)It says that Leadteks, Gainwards, and something else where ment for overclocking. Through Overclocking Speed Runner in WinFox (the control utility that cam w/ the card), I have it clocked to 310/590 MHz from its Default at like 275/570 (it uses a TI4400 which i personnaly thought was faster).Icant get it much higher than that. e.g. when i tried to play MOHAA (based on Quake 3 engine) at 330/610 it wouldn't go into the game playing part(I could go to the main menu, but i cound't actually play ) So is it a Temp problem or a issue with some component Im running this computer(i know its not too great, but dont worry im upgrading)

well i dont think that this is an overheat issuebut what happes when u go into the game?? does your computer turn off / freeze / u get blue screen etc... Have u tried any other games at thouse speeds games like GTA3, Mafia, Prorace driver are grafic hogs try any one of thouse Prorace driver is demo only so u can find it easly. The main thing that is holding u back is your CPU and mobo, with overclocking you will probobly get minimal results in a gain in FPS

Th games just shuts down but your probably right it wont do much of a difference with the current mobo and CPU thx:cheers:
