Geforce FX5700 ultra Core Clock Speed

All the info I read about my vid card says it has a core clock speed of
475Mhz but RivaTuner is telling me I currently have a speed of 300Mhz. Is
the 475Mhz figure a maximum quoted or should it be a normal speed.
Could I be getting a reduced speed because Im at AGP 4x or could it be
because I have softQuadro'd it to a QuadroFX1100
Anyone got any idea on a reasonable overclock speed I want to be aiming for.
Thanks.

ypur agp setting won`t affect the core speed. It`s likely the quadro bios
makes it run slower. your o/c speed will depwnd on wether you replace the
stock hsf with better equipment. you could add a heatpipe if you have space
in the case for one, then you could really get high core and mem speeds.

Thanks for the info's
If you did not have riva tuner installed then would the card automatically
select the faster/slower clock speeds when required also with RT installed
will the card still auto select the correct core speed when necessary.

Your card has 2 speeds, 300 is the 2d speed, 475 is the 3d speed. The
5700, 5900 and 5950 run at 300 for 2d work, and only speed up to the
higher
speed when doing 3d-this keeps the fan(s) at low speed until needed.
In Rivatuner on the "Overclocking" tab look next to the "Enable
driver-level
hardware overclocking", there is a "drop-down" box, see if it is "says"
"standard 2d", click on the arrow and you should see "performance(3d) as a
second choice-select that and your 475 should show up.

Yes it's automatic, in 2d it runs the lower speed, in 3d it runs the higher.

Thanks ginfest, out of interest what sort of speeds would I be able to
(comfortably) overclock this card to 2D+3D, any idea ?

In 2D there really isn't a need to oc, no sense heating up the card and
having the fans run full speed. In 3D I'm not sure on the 5700, I'm running
the 5900 which I've clocked to 475 core/950mem.
I should think that a quick Google search on "5700 overclocking" would give
a rough idea although all cards are different.
g'luck
