Internal Grapics


The onboard radeon HD4200 comes with the AMD 785G chipset and can be overclocked in the BIOS as well as with a tool called GPU NOS. Unfortunately we couldn't get GPU NOS to run. We tried it in Windows 7, Vista and windows XP but it wouldn't work. We tried overclocking in in the BIOS without increasing the chipset voltage. We could`t reach 800MHZ so we settled for 700MHZ.

We used CrystalMark version 2004R3 to compare the onboard Radeon HD4200 with the Radeon HD3200 and the Radeon 3650 in 2D graphics as well as 3D graphics.
