HowTo: Overclock the GPU of the Acer Ferrari One (ATI HD 3200)

Today I managed to overclock the graphics controller of my Acer Ferrari One, the method should work for all netbooks or notebooks with the RS780-chipset. The Windows performance index increased from 4.9 to 5.1 in game performance, 3DMark2006 increased to 1396 3DMarks (with 610Mhz/1380Mhz GPU/CPU-clock).

Use it at your own risk! Read more after the break!

You need to install 2 tools for overclocking the GPU and checking the correct clockspeed:

AMD GPU Clock Tool v.9.26.0


AMD Overdrive

After the installing process you need to start those 2 programs. Then you choose the desired clock speed in the AMD GPU clock tool by entering the clock-value with your keyboard and click the button Set clocks:

AMD GPU OC1

After that the GPU clock tool will display a incorrect value:

AMD GPU OC3

You have to look up the correct clock-speed in AMD Overdrive:

AMD GPU OC2

That´s all… More benchmarks to follow…

    Been trying to make this work right but the softeware seems glitchy. I only get a higher GPU clock speed if I enter a number higher than 600. Sounds wierd but then I get a jump from 380mhz to 760mhz. I think 760 is too high for the factory cooling. Any ideas why i’m not sdeeing your numbers?

    I tried to modify the GPU clock but it seems that this is set to 350 and i can’t change it :/

    @Alpha,Gpu overclock geht nur mit AMD GPU Clock Tool v.9.26.0……der Download ist AMD GPU Clock Tool v.9.28.0

    @mr7words,dein Downloadlink ist zur Weiterleitung zur AMD GPU Clock Tool v.9.28.0 version und die geht nicht mit dem Acer Ferrari One

    I scored a 3.6 at windows Aero performance, with cpu at 1380 and gpu to 650MHZ…
    Dont try 700mhz because gpu will fail and performance is poor.
