Over clocking video card

CrazeD · 04-05-2006, 03:42 AM

I have an ATi Radeon 9600 Pro, 128mb AGP.

I play BF2 with it, and as you probally guessed, it sucks bad.

So I OC'ed it with ATi Tool, but I want to know how much I can go before I melt it.

I'm currently running at: 462 (mhz?) Core, and 324 (mhz?) Memory.

How far can I go before I mess something up? Mind you this isn't my card, so I don't want to get too dangerous.

what temps is it running at under load ?

CrazeD · 04-05-2006, 04:11 AM

I dunno, how do I find out?

ATI Tool maybe?

I don't see where it says the temperature anywhere on ATi tool, maybe if you could point out where it is?

Yeah, I'd like to know about this too. Mine's only on 420 and 214, since I have no idea how to OC anything.

id ike to know to, i got that same card, how do you oc it in the first place?

I think I answered my own question. I did a "find max core" scan and got artifacts shortly after, and I did a "find max mem" scan and got them instantly, so I turned that down a little.

So I guess I'm borderline too far.
