Its not that hard, just go to www.downloads.com and download a program called PowerStrip

Then in that prgram you can overclock your card! You need to change the Core and the Memory speeds, keep bumping them up 1MHz at a time, then run some stability tests, such as 3dMark2001, and when you get errors or problems running that test, bump the MHz down 1!

Good luck!

Dude if they did thats just plain sad.... really it's been out less then 2 years I think I remember when it first came out ......... IWill be happy when I get rid of my Savage4 I because i can't Finnish my Max payne game!!!!

i got about 900 (3dmark2001) with my 32m savage2000 clocked to 200/183.. max payne runs at 800x600 silky smooth but some textures are off.

S3 have released a final set of drivers (if you have them theyre called S3 refernce drivers, suprisingly hehe)
