I would be glad to help you out. Silversinksam and funnyperson1 are also good overclockers that will help out as well.

Pretty much the whole board will offer you help.

First get 'powerstrip" a utility that allows you to change the clock/mem of your video card. (I just prefer it over Radeon Tweaker cause I use XP pro as OS)

2) Have you done anything to the cooling of your card whether it is having air circulated over the card or having replaced the heatsink/fan and adding ramsinks as I did. If not you may wanna consider down the road.

Once you start powerstrip go to the you will have the option to change the clk/mem. If your card is retail I think you are safe to increase clk to 320 and mem to 240 then run 3D Mark2k1 and see how it does, if no artifacting or tearing of the video detail then continue increasing both. The sweet spot for the clk is between 338 to 346 I have founbd 342 or 344 to be the best, next increase the mem slowly as well you maight get 245 - 246 without additional cooling.

I will tell tell ya more later gotta go to work now


Sure you will get help from others, and welcome to the forum.

Merry Christmas to all
