Hi,
I am a light gamer who recently bought a GeForce FX 5200 card. The
overclocking utility allows me to set clock speeds separately for 2D
and 3D modes. For 3D mode I obviously want to go as high as I can w/o
sacraficing stablity. However, since I don't like my computer to run
hot the 90 percent of the time that I am in 2D mode, I am thinking of
setting it to underclock when in 2D mode. My understanding is that
modern graphics cards are overkill for just about anything 2D. Where,
if anywhere, would I have a noticeable performance decrease if I set
the 2D clock speed to say half of the default?
Thanks.
