Dell :: Underclocked 3670
Dec 3, 2009
I recently installed ATI Tray Tools on my SXPS 1640, and found out that the clock speed of my GPU is set to 400Mhz. This seems sort of low, because on AMD's website it says that the Mobility Radeon 3670 has a core clock speed of 680Mhz.
1.) Would it be safe (or possible) to raise the clock speed back up to 680Mhz?
2.) Did Dell do this on purpose to prevent overheating?
Oh, and I'm currently using the Catalyst 9.11 driver (modded with MobilityModder).

I just bought a quadro 3500m of off ebay for 400 bucks. Said it was in working condition. I put it into my e1705 and the bios registered it as a 3500m. I boot into vista and run the the expieriance index progam and it stops when it gets to the graphics test. I ran 3dmark06 and I got a score of 4948, about 200 less than what others are getting. I checked the clock settings with ntune and they said my card is clocked at 575c/600m, (isnt it supposed to be 575c/700m?) Could they have flashed the card's bios with different clocks? Could I have bought a modded 2500m?
Also, I tried 2 sets of drivers one from dell and the other the latest from laptapvid2go. Sometimes in games the screen flashes dim then bright.
I tried 3dmark05 in xp with this card and my score was also lower than what it should be.
Did I get ripped off or what should I do here? Anyway I can tell about the potential bios mod?
Laptop specs:
E1705
2 ghz core2
2 gig ram
5400rpm 80gig
?512 mb 3500m?
120 watt (waiting for 130w to come in mail) AC adaptor

I have a Vostro 1500 laptop with a Core 2 duo T5470, which is supposed to have a 1.6GHz frequency.
I noticed that my computer was going a little bit slower so I check my CPU and saw that it was only running at 1.2GHz.
I thought it would be an easy fix by going to my BIOS and turning off speedstep, but when I looked I see that it is already turned off. I updated the BIOS and turned off speedstep after the update and it is still running at 1.2. Any ideas on what this could be?...

I have a TZ250N with the stock ram. When I check the ram with "memtest" it shows :
177 MHz (DDR 354) / CAS 3-3-3-9 / Single Channel (64 bits)
Normally the ram should be DDR 667 .
I tried to replace the ram with another 2 gig stick from another laptop and I had even worst result 154 MHZ

i just opened GPU-Z to see that the speeds are: 450 mhz clock speed and 700 mhz memory speed.
arnt the stock speeds meant to be 600/700?
i used amd gpu clock tool to put them up to 600/700 but the fan is constantly on and the temps are about 55-58 constantly.
anyone elses 3650 at these clocks? mine is a ATI 3650 HD 512mb GDDR3 version.

I read that Sony Vaio FW's ATI Radeon 4650 is underclocked. I'm wondering if this is only exclusive to FW's 4650 or all Sony dedicated graphic cards are underclocked?

Is it possible to use the GPU client with the 3670? I need a driver of 8.7 or later but I currently have 8.512. And since ATI doesn't support their mobile GPUs... is there a mod that will allow me to run F@H GPU client?
Also... Is it ok to run the SMP and GPU client?

should I buy the Dell XPS 1640 (P8600, ATI 3670). I intend to use the Dell XPS 1640 for web surfing, watching movies, and play some light games online. Would my Dell XPS 1640 with ATI 3670 will have these problems like overheating and throttling?
After reading those horrible stories about XPS 1640 like overheatinga and throttling). I am not so sure about buying them.

I've owned my studio xps 1640 for about a month now. Had zero issue with it. Yesterday, while doing some browsing, listening to a net cast etc.
I was notified by Vista that my card had failed and was reconnecting? This did not work and brought up a blue screen telling me that if this was the first time this had happened to reboot (which it then did anyhow) so I did not have time to catch the rest.
I went to Dell's site and Dl'd every bios,chip set and urgent driver update they had. I tried the Ati update but like others have mentioned it did not seem to take. I read that someone had this card fail on their first Studio. Is this behavior a forerunner of a critical malfunction?

so tomorrow my friend will put his laptop together, (he will get the ati 3670 card, he could get the 4670 (if he paid some extra money) but he is not some super-gamer and said he could live with 3670 without any problem.
i knew that ati 3670 512mb and nvidia 9600M gt 512mb was pretty similar, but ati 3670 performs actaully better, (quite much better).

I just sold out my three week old macbook pro 15 unibody on ebay....useless filthy piece of crap...utterly over-priced block of aluminium.
And now I am typing this on my DELL studio xps 1640 .I have a simple question, Will it be extremely risky if I try to overclock my gpu, ati mobility radeon hd3670 512mb gdrr3? Also, I am a gamer, but not one of those
who faints if the fps drops by a point. I mostly play games like gta san andreas, cod4, world of warcraft, fear, soldier of fortune, assassin's creed, prince of persia, diablo, half-life, far cry , mafia, nfs etc. Is it necessary to overclock?

I know this question has a rather obvious answer, however I was wondering what kind of games can the ATI 3670 - 512MB graphics card handle?
I was hoping to get the 4670 card however the only option available to me from the Dell websites in the countries near me only have the 3670 listed

last night I ran 3Dmark06 on my SXPS16 with 3670 GPU, and I was surprised by the way it ran (in a negative way).
The machine is all standard Windows Vista Ultimate 64Bit as it will be replaced by a similar machine with 4670 GPU. Specs are as displayed below (only with the 3670 GPU instead of the 4670) .....

Heya im planning on buying my XPS 16 within the next 2months.
Ive seen that there ATi 4670 costs �50 more than the 3670,
and as im currently unemployed �50 is alot of money.
I play games on ps2, not laptop anymore though, so wont be needing graphics card for gaming.
But so would the 4670 actually provide any other advantages in like laptop speed when surfing net and having multiple pages open at same time,
or increase speed when watching movies online? ect

Is it normal that dell.ca would have fewer choices of screens than dell.com? I'm looking at the studio 15, and dell.com lists Hi Resolution/Bright,
glossy widescreen 15.4 WLED display (1440x900) as a choice, which is what I want, but dell.ca doesn't. When I view the system specs though, that choice is listed as on option.

my laptop vostro 3460 won't boot any more. When I turn it on it loads the Dell logo (I suppose it passes the POST) but then it just shows a black page. It could be anything, but I guess that it may have something to do with Windows 8 and the UEFI system. I also would be quite happy to install linux mint and get rid of Windows, but I don't know how to change the boot priority order.
So my questions are:
1 is it a hardware issue ? if not, can I solve my problem easily ?
2 how can I change the boot priority order, to install mint ?

when i first got my dell inspiron and it was all good. when i set the monitor to shut off after 1 minute of being idle, it did and would not turn on unless someone moved the mouse of pressed a button. however, after i reformatted, the computer monitor would shut off after 1 min but soon afterwards it turns on again by itself, then it goes off again, then it remains on permanently. i recently formatted my laptop again and this problem persists. anyone knows whats sup? im using xp ftw... and my configurations are the same as it was before the reformats so idk whats wrong.

i consider buying assassin's creed for pc to play it on my dell laptop (see sig).
any idea, how it will run? anyone with an i9400/e1705/oc'ed 7900gs, who already
played it? is it worth it or do i have to turn down the settings too much?
just for info: i can play gears of war, bioshock, ut3, cod4, et:qw, sega rally,
orange box, stalker, etc. at max settings at 1280x800 res. everything runs
smoothly like that. have to turn down aa or shadow qual. slightly down sometimes,
though.
