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 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 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?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was looking at FW's today and noticed that I can only upgrade to a HD 3650 if I get 64 bit Vista, is this just sony trying to get more money or does the HD 3650 actually require vista 64 bit?

View 3 Replies View RelatedRunning my FW290 with an ATI 3650 through my AVR (Onkyo TX-SR706), I get video, but no audio - audio stays with the computer. I have no audio issues running the computer through HDMI directly to my TV (except at times I've had to switch the default playback device to HDMI). That option is not available here as the computer is not showing any HDMI output.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI 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?

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 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 ATI 3650 and for some reason its Core Clock is 450Mhz and the Memory Clock is 500Mhz
When I look up the HD Mobility Radeon HD 3650 on Notebookcheck it shows its supposed to be 600Mhz Core Clock and 700Mhz Memory
I have the newest Drivers using Mobility Modder. And could not be happier with its performance to date. However I would like to squeeze a bit more from it for Command & Conquer 4 coming up .....

Today I connected my 6530G (Win7) to my 37" LCD TV to try out Media Centre as I've sorted out all my media nice and tidy, only to find I could only display in the laptops resolution of 1366x768. This left a black border all around the picture which looked terrible especially when I did play a movie back.
I thought the laptop was capable of displaying full HD 1080p as written on the keyboard? Is this just a driver/software fault or something I'm missing?
My Fn+F5 doesn't do anything anymore, but when I connected the HDMI cable it instantly displayed on the TV aswell as the laptop (dual screen). Could this be the problem?
idea to go check out what HP has changed in their laptops recently. Well i looked at the dv5z and behold HP has put in a 512mb radeon 3650. If they can do this for the dv7z i will be saying goodbye to my dv7t.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI got myself a shiny 1735. I'm not a big gamer, but I wanted something that could play the odd game and specifically World of Warcraft. With this in mind (and the fact that I've never yet met an integrated graphics solution that didn't suck so hard that Dyson wanted to patent it), I went with the ATi Radeon Mobility HD 3650 gfx upgrade. I've never been a fan of ATi so it wouldn't have been my first choice of card, but given that it's about the same choice as the vegetarian "option" in restaurants (ie, take it, or go hungry) I figured it was worth a punt.
Got WoW installed and played about with settings. To cut a long story short, it looks absolutely gorgeous and will happily fling the game about with all the settings ramped up to max at 1920x1200. But.
WoW seems to run... I'm struggling for the exact word, but it's "choppy". When you're running / flying, the terrain isn't smooth, it kinda jerks past in quick bursts. It doesn't feel like the card is struggling per sé, it's like the sort of thing that you'd expect to be fixed in a driver update.
I grabbed the latest Catalyst drivers from ATi (8.8). They appear to install fine, along with the control centre which is missing from the stock Dell install, but it doesn't actually appear to update the drivers from 8.4. Presumably this is down to it being a laptop adapter rather than a discrete ATi card, but I've not as yet come up with a workaround to make it install though I'm sure it's possible. Anyway.
I took a closer look at the graphics card. The stock 3650 from ATi runs at 600MHz core, 500MHz RAM. yet the adapter supplied by Dell appears to be underclocked, the memory is the same speed but the core is running at just 450MHz.
Experimenting with ATiTool, I can reclock the card to run at ATi stock speeds of 600/500. At this speed it runs rock solid stable under extended load, with no discernable thermal issues that I can immediately make out. Overclocking it much past this almost immediately crashes the laptop so I can't recommend taking it much out of spec, for the sake of a couple of MHz it's just not worth the risk / hassle, but at 600 core it's solid. I can only assume that Dell have underclocked it to improve battery life, I can't see any other reason for such a large crippling.
Clocking the card 'properly' and switching off Full Screen Glow in WoW has gone a long way towards rectifying the choppiness, but I can see that it's still not "right". I've not yet played with other resolutions or tried any other games so I don't know if I'm just asking too much in terms of graphics RAM or if it's specifically a WoW issue but I'm going to carry on fiddling with it. Short of persevering with hacking the Catalyst 8.8 drivers though, I'm not entirely sure where else I can go with this. In the grand scheme of things it's not a huge issue, it's just irritating that my shiny new toy isn't quite the beast I was expecting when I bought it.

ATI does not as far as I can tell separate Desktop Catalyst Drivers and Laptop Drivers.
[url]
I went to the above link and downloaded and Installed the Software it asked for a restart but as far as I can tell it didn't change anything
My Stock Drivers DELL shipped the 1737 with are
Under Device Manager are
Driver Date: 7/3/2008
Driver Version: 8.512.0.0
But after downloading both files the 60.7MB Catalyst Software Suite and the Standalone Driver
Both Dated 12/10/2008 which is newer, nothing on my Machine changed at all I still have the old drivers.
Yeah Yeah... I still have a 3650 DDR2
I am looking to upgrade my laptop very soon....
Back to the question in hand....
I want to overclock my 3650, but with the latest drivers (and after the 8.10 Drivers I have not been able to overclock) ...
Was just wondering if there any any new methods in order to overclock my card...

I have a VAIO VGN-SZ75GN, bought about 8 months ago, and now I want to exchange the built-in hard-disc with a solid-state disc.
I need some guide with illustrations/pictures, how to reach the disc
I have just been given a VAIO PCG8A2M (GRX316MP) , i was told "it's broken but if you can fix it yo can have it" so having a quick look at it there's no sign of life on the display but the lights come on and i can here the HDD heads moving about.
Looking a little more i found that all the ram is missing , so now im not sure if its worth buying some ram to see if it works or not ? The lack of ram would prob explain the lack of display but i wonder if i should be getting POST beeps at least, which im not.
So my question is if a VAIO had no ram should (if all else was working) it be getting POST beeps ?
Just performed a successful XP downgrade on my Vaio Z520, but have noticed that on this copy of the Vaio Silver Desktop Theme/Appearance doesn't exist.

I don't know whats the diference (besides the price), between VAIO TZ295N & VAIO TZ395N. Specs in all the websites I've checked say they have exactly the same components: Intel coreduo 1.33Ghz 2GB RAM DVD-RW and 64GB SSD Hardrive. I was wonder if the diference might be in the hard drive interface, with the TZ295N being PATA and TZ395N being SATA.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm seriously thinking of selling my VAIO Z690 & just buying the base Sony VAIO Z (VPCZ112GX/S). I may just be able to afford that base model & the icing on the cake will definitely be the UJ-232A drive being able to fit into the (new) VAIO Z series & work.
Am planning to get a sony laptop for me. The design simply rocks I am getting mixed reviews about cw and E series. But i made up my mind to get one.
My budget is aroung 40000rupees. Thats around 800$. So suggest me a better one between these two for occasional moderate and less(mosltly) demanding games. I dont care whether its 14 or 15 inch.
Am looking at lower end versions of both the models.
Only difference is CW uses Nvidia Geforce 310 and the E series uses some Radeon 5000 series one. CW has 14 inch screen whereas E series has a 15.5 inch screen. In the models which i am looking at both have matte finish and both has WXGA:1366 x 768 VAIO Display.
which one should i go for. whether the screen quality will be on par to Inspiron one atleast? ( I dont need HD).
im planning on using the laptop for videos, photoshop and a bit of gaming, maybe even a bit more gaming :-)
The Vaio F Series only has 330M Nvidia Graphics Card with i7QM and up to 8GB of Ram and up to 256GB SSD.
The E Series has ATI 5650 (a less powerful version, reduced clock speed) combined with a i5 520M with up to 6Gb of Ram and up to 500GB of HDD ? Why can i not choose SSD ?
if I can use the AC Adapter of a Vaio TT on the Vaio Z. The standard AC Adapter that comes with the Vaio Z is of 19.5V and the one for the Vaio TT is of 16V, which I don't know if it's enough for the Vaio Z to function properly or if there could be any problem or damage. Both machines have batteries of 10,8V.
I have an undervolted Vaio Z by the way (last multiplier at 0.9875) so I don't know if this could help in any way for my Z to work ok with the TT AC Adapter.
