PS3 Project RSX Boost: Overclock your Retail PS3 RSX Speeds (ps3 cfw only)

Whoah whoah, you already got 700/750 running? Damn you're fast, I'm still testing 650/750 :')

I'm already on 700/800 (No diff between 700/750)

Now i want more hahaha @cha0shacker :P

see the patches in the patch folder

or you could try 750 core first

I have applied the 700/750 patch about 10 minutes ago, tested GT6, NFSC and GTA IV, all are stable.

FPS difference in static game menu in NFSC from 650/750 to 700/750 is from 49 to 53 FPS

Edit: Will install RDR and maybe some other games that are notorious for being hard on the RSX

Test if RDR runs, we had many reports of black screen, but seems like it happens in only one version of the game.

Crysis 3

OC: 19- 20 fps
Standard Oc: 22~24 Fps
650/750: ~24~26
700/750: Stable 30 Fps

 

[LuanTeles]

@zecoxao see this.

I remember people reporting problems with RDR from this thread, yes. I will test the GOTY version, that is all I have. It used to run at around 25 fps on 600/750 so let's see what it does on 700/750 Will report in about 30 minutes after I install it and download all updates
Edit: I installed 750/750, NFSC is working fine, will test RDR soon

Flashing 750 right now

 

[LuanTeles]

Overclock 750/800

GOW Ascension: (Max 53, min 50) for reference stock is 37 MAX

Crysis 3 (Stable 30, same as 700/750, 30fps is the cap)

 

[Thimblewad]

750/750 RDR is stable. FPS is still shit at around 25 FPS in the intro town but it's working okay, no artefacting after 10 minutes of gameplay.

 

[LuanTeles]

Results so far:

**GOW Ascension:**
Stock: 37 FPS
Default Overclock (OC): 40-44 FPS
650/750 OC: 42-44 FPS
700/750 OC: 47-50 FPS
750/800 OC: 50-54 FPS
Conclusion: It appears achievable to reach 60 FPS with an 850 core.

**Crysis 3:**
OC: 19-20 FPS
Standard OC: 22-24 FPS
650/750 OC: 24-26 FPS
700/750 OC: Stable 30 FPS
750/800 OC: Stable 30 FPS

Conclusion: Crysis 3 seems to be capped at a maximum of 30 FPS.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I left the GOW ascention running for 30 minutes, NO ARTIFACTS!

So i assume 750/800 is safe,at least on my 20XX and 25XX systems with the stock thermal paste and never opened. (they get really hot even on XMB and it's handling the OC just fine, i just noticed about 3ºC-4ºC increase in the RSX)

65C/149 F is normal on xmb here :P

 

[Thimblewad]

I can confirm now that on a 2504 system, RDR is stable at 750/800. NFSUC is working great, main menu went from 45 FPS on 600/750 to 55 on 750/800. That is a 20% increase in FPS my guys! So I presume difference from stock is +25%!

Will test more games tomorrow (GTA IV, GTA V, GT6, BS: Infinite, TLOU, AC4: Black Flag)

Temperatures are about 4-5°C higher, as @LuanTeles already reported

Well, my system doesn't like 750 at all, so i guess there is some variance. But i never really got lucky on the silicon lottery.

Impressive !
I wonder if a poorly optimized game like Drakengard 3 could benefit from higher clocks.
Drakengard 3 at stable 30fps. That would be crazy :')

 

[cha0shacker]

750/750 RDR is stable. FPS is still shit at around 25 FPS in the intro town but it's working okay, no artefacting after 10 minutes of gameplay.

The game is most likely CPU limited in the intro that's why there is no improvement.

If we are talking unoptimized we should try Bayonetta ^_^

 

[Thimblewad]

Unfortunately, at least on my system, 750/800 produces memory artifacting on OG Crysis. It's the only game so far I have seen to have a problem with this OC. It's barely noticeable, but it's there.

Will, try some more.

GTA IV, GTA V, RDR, NFSC, Life Is Strange, TLOU, BS:Infinite and COJ: Gunslinger are working flawlessly

Edit: It's 23:55, I want to test them all xD Good luck to me waking up at 6 in the morning xD

Edit2: GTA V and COJ:Gunslinger are working perfectly

Try to increase your fan speed and see if the artifacts are gone, some people said that the artifacts are only happening in high temps.

 

[cha0shacker]

The OG Crysis is also the first game to give me artifacts in testing. It's very shader and bandwidth heavy, that's most likely why. Even a desktop GTX 7900 can only produce around 30fps in Crysis on the lowest settings.

Another great test:
Gran Turismo 6 in 1080p mode at night with full expert AI and rain. Also exactly repeatable because you can save a replay.

I have a friend who is experiencing artifacts and broken textures in GTA V at the default overclock settings of 600/750. Interestingly, they seem to be the only one I know encountering this issue with the default overclock.
