Overclocking

[water_cooler 20]

This is probably a noob question but ok what happens if i oc my video card to far will my computer not start or will my computer just be unstable and can i flash my R9000's bios.

i dont know about the bios, but everytime I take my oc a little to far on the vid card, it just makes the screen really screwed up and doesnt change back so I just hard re-boot, that way windows doesnt save the settings. It just goes back to the last best setting.

my 2 cents

[water_cooler 20]

so ocing the vid card is done on the fly.

The best stages, IMO, to overclock a video card is to crank it up a little each time and then run 3DMarks a couple times. If everything looks good and the computer doesn't crash I add a bit more.

Disclaimer: I don't promise nothing bad can or will happen to the video card.

To answer your last question, video card overclocking is usually done from inside Windows/Linux and not the Bios.

can a better bios be put on the r9000

If it aint broken dont fix it. Haha unless ur bios dont let u overclock like the 9500 u prolly cant get anybetter.
