Ah I remember this chip well. Overclocking all the way to 933mhz! You can get yet more performance by overclocking system ram too. Allowed me to at least run starcraft 2, half life 2, area 51, and a few other lighter titles while I was trying to get another gpu

[@DigitalJedi]

Tuning half life 2 on this chip with my grandfather while over at his place on the weekends was most of my childhood gaming. He got me into pcs with that old system and I still have it around as a minecraft server.

[@foobar-9k]

I ran the Radeon 3000, on this motherboard I'm still using, overclocked to 500 MHz (to match the HD 3200 that I was too poor to buy instead) without ANY issues for years, and without active cooling, despite living in a place with 40°C summers. Good enough to allow me to play even the first Mass Effect :-)

Hey you forgot to do something, I had one of these. You had the core clock right but you MUST OC the memory in order for you to see some decent increases. Unless I missed your mem settings those were more important otherwise you can bottlneck the settings, I know I went from a 1066 DDR3 ->DDR1600 and wowie.

[@itsTyrion]

So that’s why the gains are kinda small. Makes sense, I was wondering about that

[@hiRyan329329]

This would have been so helpful to know back in like 2011-2014. I was rocking a Athlon II X4 640 (My first quad core cpu) and was running it on a very similar motherboard from Gigabyte as well (GA-MA785GM-US2H). It had the built in Radeon HD 4200 gpu so it was a little bit more powerful in that department, it could play HL2 max graphics 900p (minus AA) but for anything more demanding I had to run in windowed mode 240p and enjoy a 12fps experience (I played at least 100hr of APB Reloaded this way back then). I also upgraded it to a whole whopping 8gb of DDR2 800mhz G.Skill memory and didn't even make use of it for half a year cause I didn't realize my version of Windows XP was 32bit :)

[@Scornfull]

Though my mini HD 530 can't be overclocked in any way it's an impressive little system being able to run GTA 5 at playable framerates and almost being able to run Apex and Fortnite at playable framerates but what it shines in the most is emulation of older systems, its small size and low wattage draw. With AVX2 builds of PCSX2 it plays most titles just fine and runs texture packs of N64 Zelda games very well and can even run BOTW at 30 FPS

You can hybrid crossfire these GPU's with either the HD 3450 or the HD 3470. The HD 3470 is the lowest card to ever have crossfire connectors on the card. They also overclock really well 900mhz+ on the core.

Not to mention an old fart like myself which was used to play 3D games running at ~200p at 8 to 15fps on the Amiga in the late 80's 🤣 it's all about perspective. Sure these games were often constructed with low fps in mind, but still! we can definitely make do with far less than what tech media makes us believe. :)

Around that time I had a Gigabyte board with a HD4000 (GA-MA785GM-US2H rev. 3.3). Wish I knew I could OC it though, I did a lot of windowed mode/low setting mayhem to get some games to be "playable", which back then was like 15fps for me (Source games like HL2 ran max settings minus AA with good frames at least)

[@Cat_Stevens]

San Andreas actually runs at 15fps max (except mods), and then each frame is presented twice in succession, in order to appear as "30" fps. I know San Andreas' age meets with the age of the parts, but it is a good idea to note this when looking at stutter, smoothness and performance in GTA SA. Because by default, San Andreas will not look smooth at "full speed", because it's more like 15fps with artificial stutter / frame duplication.

RE overclocking the GMA graphics - I used to use a program called GMA Booster on my old netbooks, never noticed much of a difference though. I had the MSI Wind U100 which offered a CPU overclock from 1.6ghz to 2.0ghz which did impove things somewhat.

[@theFORKiknow]

I had the ASUS M4A785-M Board with an integrated HD4000. That one ran 400MHz out of the box if I remember correctly. I mindlessly set it to 1000 MHz and went ahead to use it. Ran great. Was really capable for an iGPU and even played games. I believe it only survived the 1000 because of the rather large heatsink that was strapped to it. It was really hot when I noticed I may have gone over board with setting it way too high. Still, STALKER, San Andreas, Minecraft, all those and more have been usable.

Overclocking motherboard gpu, my dream had finally come true!

[@letto18]

There actually are/was boards with a Radeon HD built in, boards with the AMD 880G chipset for example such as the MSI 880GM-E35 AM3 motherboard got a intergrated Radeon HD 4250

[@fattomandeibu]

My dad's computer(it's an Intel with Core 2 Duo) couldn't do this. He still uses thanks to the help of a GT710. The on board is so awful, KZbin at higher than 480p gives gratuitous screen tearing. People might laugh at a GT 710, but £35 for a crap graphics card that will do everything required of it beats splashing on a new computer for someone who only uses spreadsheets and KZbin.

If the computer is that old you basically only have a graphics card to make sure the PC runs 1080p videos smoothly and/or has a display output xD

[@fattomandeibu]

@@Quast The output is fine, his monitor is as old as the computer, it was just that Intel onboard may be worse than a PS1. Even at 480p you'd still get screen tearing, but it was still watchable, but 720p? Forget about it.

[@Quast]

@@fattomandeibu I still remember what it was like switching from a graphics card that had no decoding for HD content to one which had, think was the NVidia 7000 generation. From a stop motion event to a full smooth video, alone for the orignal Crysis trailer it was worth it! xD

[@Frittentheo]

I was surprised that the games started at all on this integrated graphic unit.

[@heinobrummer1044]

I still remember playing AC2 on my 1st gen i3 laptop with HD graphics 2500 at 20 fps having to look down at the ground while running to get anywhere.. good times..

[@mattyfrommacc1554]

I have this MOBO, It's bad where games graphics quality is concerned but has proven useful when troubleshooting Graphics cards or just providing a display out whilst I wait for a new card to arrive/ be bought

[@KieronWallace2]

Wow. I had no idea that I could change specific things like that on motherboard bioses that had the blue bios or the amibois or what not, I didn't know that those let you customize to that extent, I knew you could change other settings, but I didn't know you could change the onboard gpu settings to that extent, amazing,

[@white_mage]

those are some really good gains. my m2n-mx se plus has a nforce 430 chipset with a nvidia 6150se igpu. i can overclock it from 425mhz to 555mhz but only with msi afterburner. this oc has next to no gains in performance even in older games. i think the most i've seen was a 2 fps gain but i don't remember the game or benchmark i used.

[@mOddEdLiKeHeLL]

this was funny. i enjoyed it much

[@bpcgos]

It made me remember my day without discrete GPU back in 2008-2010, my Radeon HD 3200 along with Athlon II X2 4800+ and 2 GB DDR2 RAM work very hard (probably a bit abused ) to play GRID, Far Cry 2, Crysis Warhead, and the notorious GTA 4 all at glorious 800x600 on my 17" CRT with probably less than 30 FPS (but 800x600 at the time on CRT I remember didnt look that bad like on video above). The motherboard itself hold through 2 GPU upgrade (Radeon HD 6850 and GTX 660) and 1 CPU upgrade (Phenom II X4 840) before finally the memory slot gave up in 2016 (what an 8yrs old of great computing) and push me into Skylake ecosystem (AMD is bad during that year) . I still wish it hold one more year so I can upgrade to another AMD chipset with Ryzen and enjoy probably another decade of AMD longevity (Im already switch back into AMD in 2020 with Ryzen 5 2600 though and wish it hold at least as long as my last AMD system)

[@BReal-10EC]

Did you try overclocking the ram too? It is using system ram. IIRC- you could really do a significant percentage OC on some ram back then (because it was so slow).

This man suffers to satisfy our curiosity.

😂

[@dusterpl6093]

I can't believe GTA SA has basically triple the framerate on some freaking motherboard integrated graphics and with higher visual settings compared to my old PC that had a discrete GPU...

[@ggwpezpzlemonsqueezy]

holy crap lol. dont know u can overclock it. my brother own that freaking processor n mobo and still working till today. interesting video

[@narutosingh5239]

I have one ASUS AM3 motherboard, purchased in 2011. It has same ATI 3000 GPU, surprisingly its even compatible with Windows 10. The chipset do get heated up if you open too much tabs. My CPU is AMD FX 6300.

[@MarioMadness1]

Use to have the same cooler back in the day... wasn't long before scrapped it and bought a zalman cooler

[@earthsosad]

I used to play Mafia 2 on Radeon 3000 with the lowest settings possible. It was a pain in the arse, but I managed to finish the game.
