I want good clocks. My overclocking doesn't even make a friggin difference on my card. itgives me like 200 points in 3d mark 03

It is Ocing, just not like I want. I don't really think 40 mhz is worth 10C more on load.

yeah its safe to use AS5 on your GPU as long as you're careful putting it on.

Either you have one of the worst XTs ever - or there is another culprit.
I have a feeling that the PSU might be the problem. I have experienced similar probs before, where an underpowered PSU caused clocks to go down the toilet.
Was the card new or used?

The card is brand new from Zipzoomfly. My PSU is what in my sig. I monitored the rails, they're stable. I'm betting it's the card that's weak. After AS5 and reseating, I was able to bring it up to 540 core without artifacts but didn't run the benchmark yet.
I'm starting to think it's the card that's sux.
Did you try benching with higher clocks yet? Not too bad at all!nkcd said:This is the 3Dmark05 benching at XTPE clocks with my red system at Stock, all air, no OC no nothing, just the card. So freaking low
Did you set the driver to max performance etc. to get the most out of it? I am sure you have plenty of headroom left for higher scores

What are the settings for the test and are they the same as another score you are comparing against? Drivers and making sure you uninstall/install them properly cause a large variation in the score as well as the version of 3D mark you are using. I would expect a score of 12000 or so with that card, IMO......I had one myself.

This is 3DMark05. I'm complaining about its capability to OC. I don't know what's holding back this card or it's actually is the core itself.
Btw, I let ATL Tray Tool scan for artifacts and it starts showing 1 artifact at 535 core but didn't at 540?
nkcd said:
Well the only way to find out your max OCs is to increase the clocks in each benchmark until you hit the max - where the cards locks up...
NO artifact scanner works for ATIn cards, only for VERY rough estimates. ATItool can tell you artifacts @ 533MHZ, while in reality you can bench 05 @ 580.
It's the only way to find your true max clocks
