Nvidia GT220 Overclock

SakisProHD GR · Sep 3, 2013

Hello everyone
This is my PC:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53
Nvidia GT220 Point of View 512MB Low Profile
3GB RAM Dual Channel
200GB WD

But for some reason I can't play Crysis 1 with even 1024x768 with all on low.I am thinking about overclocking my graphic card so I can improve FPS in games.Is it safe because I have the low profile edition?Please help me because I don't have much money for upgrade

Overclocking the gt220 will not gain you anything playing that game I am afraid.

So I can't do anything for improving gaming performance?

Is that the lowest resolution it will go?

No,there is also 800x600 but it really looks ugly.Anyway,I think this is because my GT220 is DDR2 and other's in YouTube is DDR3 or even GDDR5.

I don't think the GT220 ever came with GDDR5, that RAM is usually for higher end cards.

Your CPU is a bit slow, but an upgrade to a Radeon 7750 would help a lot, and that card can at least be moded to a faster system in the future. The 6670 is also OK, but for the small price difference, I'd to with the 7750. 7750 comes in at least one low profile version and you can run it on about a 280 watt power supply, maybe a 260 one if it's a good quality power supply.

You can't do much with that system without upgrading it. If you can't afford a full system upgrade, you may also check around for a faster CPU that your motherboard will run. Many dual core systems can run a newer quad core chip, or at least you may be able to find a 3gig dual core chip.

My motherboard supports up to Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.6 Maximum and I am thinking for buying it but will it make any difference in gaming?Because my current Intel C2D E7200 2.53Ghz is powerful enough to handle even Crysis 2 in 1400x900 and very high.I am thinking to upgrade to ATI 6570 1GB Low Profile because it is cheaper and I think it will work in my 240Watt PSU.

The 6570 and the 6670 use the same power withing a few watts, the power use won't matter.

6670 is 10-20% faster depending on the game though.

Either will be close to maxing out the power supply real world output though, they may run OK, but may not be stable under full load and may shorten the life of the power supply. A 260 or higher wattage PSU is a lot safter.
