By default, the Dell e6420 independent graphics card nvs4200m is deprecated. In practice, it can be restored to the rated frequency of the chip through software, which can greatly improve the display performance.
Procedure:
1. Use the GPU-Z software to check that my display "Default Frequency" is 740 and 800; (this step can be omitted)
2. Download and install MSI afterburner.

The compressed package contains two software:
Msi_kombustor_setup_2.5.0.exe
Msiafterburnersetup231.exe
The former is the test tool (optional), and the latter is the overclocking tool.
3. Run msiafterburner
Drag the core clock slider to change the value to 740, drag the memory clock slider to change the value to 800, and click the "Apply" button to take effect, if the preceding test tool is installed, click "K" in the upper-left corner of the window to start the test. Observe the frequency and temperature changes on the right side of the window. Normally, the "core frequency" should change to about 740, the "Renderer frequency" should change to about 1540. Pay attention to the video card temperature and system stability.
If you want to enable the settings to take effect by default, perform the following settings: "Apply overclocking at system startup" in the lower left corner of the light window; click "setting" to select "Start with Windows"; OK.
4. query NVIDIA official information. The core frequency of nvs4200m is up to 810. I tried to set core clock to 810. If you are interested, try it on your own.
Test conditions:
Windows performance evaluation, before "Super frequency": Graphics 4.1, game graphics 5.3; after "Super frequency": Graphics 5.2, game graphics 6.4
Master Lu, former: Integrated 5400, video card 218; rear: Integrated 5518, video card 356
The above results show that the Windows 8 Microsoft Graphics driver has upgraded the graphics driver to the latest NVIDIA version. The windows performance evaluation score has dropped to 4.9, and the game graphics score remains unchanged.
(Updated the video card driver video_nvidia_w7w8_64_a07_307.68 _ h83169_setup_zpe.exe provided by Dell. The video card Master Lu scored 371)
In general, "Super frequency" has a significant effect on improving the performance of the video card game (FSX), and the video card temperature does not change much. If you are interested, you can try it. It is best to come back and share your experiences with you.
