Ugh :disgust: .....an insult to the actual 9700 line. They should have actually called it 'Mobility 9650' in that case.... or perhaps 'Moblity 9600XT'!

Without voltage increase, I could only get it up to 1843 mhZ with 330/200 video with newest Omega drivers
Ah well, it's good enough I guess.
You haven't tried overclocking your video Mem yet, have you? Surely, you can do better than default, can't you??

I think it's the drivers. I have seen people overclock to the 400s/230+.
My first try was with 350/230 -> didn't get past the "max payne" game in 3dmark2001se. Then 330/230 -> same.
Then 350/200 -> same. Finally, 330/200. Worked.
I don't understand why it wont go further. After this, I overclocked the CPU; going to 1853 resulted in crashing ut2004 demo.
Do you think it's the drivers? Maybe the newest omegas haven't been tested with overclocking.

errr...try this. Go into the ATI Control panel in driver settings... DISABLE PowerPlay. That modifies the GPU/MEM clock frequencies based on the power the system is receiving (AC/batt)... when I first overclocked I ran into issues with that. And once I launched UT2K4 demo on batteries and it locked the system, not good.
So what I did was use ATiTools and check what speed Powerplay clocks the speeds down to in low-power environments (turns out to be 104/104), then added it as a profile in ATITools, so when Im not using massive GPU power I kick in the PowerPlay Low-Clocked profile... other profiles I did were 'Stock', 'Power Boost' and 'Top Speed' (430/230)...
Try that perhaps? Maybe youll have better luck then.

Cruisin, I can't quite get it error free at 2100 (my best is 2083), tho I have gotten the ATI to rock and roll at 472/221. I havn't run 3dmark2001se at max as I find the Dawn thing will crash the system sooner so even tho 3dmark will run at higher than the Dawn, for me the extra frames aren't worth the potential crash. My "Max " game settings at the moment are 2010, and 462/223 on the vid. This is solid as a rock tho the fan runs constantly, so I see that as ok for serious online gameplay, but I don't leave the puter at those settings constantly
