Overclocking Picasso IV?

[TjLaZer]

I finally got my Picasso IV and was trying to remember how to overclock it via the tool types. I set the tool types via the PVS Prefs tool and it still shows 80.5MHz. It's been about 10 years since I had one and vaigly recall I had to do a work around to actually get it to overclock. (Hex edit the monitor file?) On my CV64 I had no problems. I am using the Picasso 96 RTG system. Anyone know how?

Editing the video modes via P96 settings?

If you don't have a very particular need for increasing the speed of the Picasso IV (which I find hard to believe, given the applications available for such a system), I would urge you to seriously consider leaving it at stock speed. However intriguing the challenge, wouldn't it be like adding fuel injection to a Ford model T and risking damage in the process?

Didn't it give 10 MHz more to the max pixel clock, 85 =>95 and 135 =>145 MHz?

Sorry for necro’ing an old thread, but is that how you overclock the pixel clock - edit the picasso96 settings file in a hex editor?

Tick Overclock in PVS - can't say with which cards it does work. My faint memory with my tries was getting fluctuating pixels so the benefit was small.
