I have a GT330 OEM Dell that I have that i'm trying to overclock. I have tried both MSI's and Evga's overclock utility. I adjust the clocks for mem and GPU and it shows up in GPU-z, but when I bench the card its horribly slower than stock. Its like the overclock utility is keeping the card at 2D clocks instead of the adjusted 3D clocks.

I have to completely un-install the overclock utility and restart the comp to get the card to bench at stock 3D speeds.

Any ideas? maybe an overclock utility that I could try?

The card uses the GT215 GPU and 1gb DDR3 mem.

I suspect that's the problem right there. OEMs usually lock down the "fun" bits...

What are you trying to achieve by overclocking? I wouldn't think it worthwhile with such an old card. Even an entry-entry level GT720 is faster, and has a far newer feature set.

If its just for fun, its perfectly all right...

Its currently in a comp i'm letting the grandkids play Warthunder on. It gets 33fps and 22fps avg on the lowside when running the inhouse tank battle benchmark on better than med settings on a 19" LCD that I cant remember the actual resolution it is set on.

I have to mod/overclock, it's part of my being if I can get another 3-6FPS its all good.

Other than that, yes I have considered other upgrades, but its almost there doing what i'd like it to do. Maybe it will die when I bios mod it.

I see...

You could try and lower the resolution a notch to 1024x768. I doubt you'll notice the difference, and it should gain at least some FPS compared to 1280x1024 which is most likely your monitors native resolution. Most 19" 5:4 are.

1280x1024 is more pixels then one realizes at first. Its actually 66% more then 1024x768...

Good idea, then maybe I could up the in game textures abit to make up for it and see how it benches.

The bios seems like it is encrypted. When I try to read the bios with NiBiTor it brings up some insane mem/gpu/shader clock numbers that are way out of whack. And NvFlash won't complete when I tried to read the bios with it, so even if I was to get ahold of another bios or try to mod the excisting bios I doubt I could load it.

Thanks for your help
