Gforce 7600 GS FPS [Increase FPS]

Hello i was wondering i bought a new Graphics card
Gforce 7600 GS and i want to increase the FPS but i have no clue how to do that it came with a program V-tuner 3 i think thats how you do it but i'm not sure how to use it

Intell dual core 2.8
1 gig ram
gforce 7600 GS
500w power supply
Windows xp

if you could help me that would be awsome Thanks.

 

In other words, you are looking to overclock your graphics card (GPU)

FPS are inversely related to the resolution you want to use. If you want high resolution, your FPS will go down (it is harder for the GPU to create a frame at higher resolutions...more detail). You can reduce the resolution in the game, which should allow higher FPS. If you want high FPS and high resolution you will need to push the GPU harder (overclocking with V-Tuner)...and expect those things that come with overclocking (heat and possible instability). I am not an overclocker, so I can't help you there

How do you want to run your game?

lol sounds good but the thing is i dont no how to overclock it so yeah that kinda cuts the problem down i want to run my game so it has like a decent 75 fps so i wont glitch or so..

 

Try going to the game options. Turn the resolution down a notch or two and see if you "live" with that. Try turning off some of the other options that you could sacrifice for greater speed, examples are shading and shadows. There may be other controls like texture. The game may not look as pretty, but you should have improved speed.

You should find a "Readme" text or doc in the game's main folder or the number 1 CD or DVD. It could have hints for improved speed. There may be a manual or user guide that will have the hints.

I'd suggest that you use Coolbits to overclock your video card - assuming that that is what you want to do. It's simply a small registry import file that adds some options to the Forceware control panel. You can get it here:

It's what most people use to overclock Nvidia cards.

IIRC, you double-click it and it asks you if you want to import this file into your registry. Say yes. Reboot. You'll see some new panel in your Nvidia Control Panel that has to do with overclocking.

This panel lets you boost the core speed and the memory speed on your card and forces you to test them before you make the changes permanent. You'll want to bump up these settings a very small amount at a time and then test them before continuing to increase the speeds. When you go too high, you will get visual artifacts and/or system lockups. Hopefully, the Test button will tell you when you've gone too high. Also note that you would only want to apply your new speeds in 3D mode, not 2D mode.

Do some googling on 7600GS overclocking to get a feel for what speeds this card can achieve. The 7600GS is a lower-end video card so don't expect that overclocking will save you in 'killer' games like Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. It won't.

How far you can overclock a card depends on cooling and voltages. Modifying voltages is not for beginner overclockers - it's not even for most overclockers as it is a possible path to killing your video card. The better your cooling, generally, the more you can overclock. Alot of people replace the stock cooler on their video card with, for example, a Zalman VF900 to greatly increase the cooling of their video card. Note that this will void your warranty and may be a little daunting to non-do-it-yourselfers.

Please note that overclocking your video card could result in it's death. Chances are it won't but you still need to know that its possible.

Cheers dude you no alot.
