I was experimenting with my i5 2310 and HD2000.
First, I looked for information on the internet and supposedly the graphics card is not overclockable. However, I found a section in the UEFI, in the OC part, where it says "GT Overclocking Frequency" and I assumed it was the onboard because it says "1100" and the HD has 1.1 GHz.
So I searched with AI and indeed, it's an overclock section for the graphics card. There were also some voltage settings for it.
So I started tweaking. Increasing by 100 MHz increments and testing with Minecraft, which initially ran at 40 fps on version 1.12.
I searched for more information on the internet and found that people had managed to push it up to 1.3 GHz, but I went further, knowing it could handle more. As I kept increasing and testing stability, the FPS in Minecraft and the overall performance also improved. Yes, believe it or not, the Windows graphical interface runs on hardware acceleration.
Something so simple that without good hardware acceleration, the interface feels clunky and slow. I started increasing the voltage to give it more stability. I reached an impressive 2.0 GHz, with a copper heatsink, stable at 45 degrees idle and 60 degrees under full load. Voltages +0.45. Beyond that, I couldn't push further due to artifacts. 900 MHz on an onboard graphics card is not small. An interesting overclock, as it significantly improved the overall performance of the machine. Games like Lineage II, which previously ran at 30 fps, now run at 60 fps even in crowded cities like Giran. Onboard graphics are still a drawback, but I enjoyed tweaking things and seeing what happened.
See you later
