I built a new computer last week. I bought the video card as listed in the title. What i'm trying to do is get it overclocked right. I have AMD's newest drivers installed and i also have AMD's Vision Engine Control Center to overclock it because its suppose to be an easy process and i've never overclocked. The problem is i have overclocked it in the Vision Engine Control Center from 850MHz Core Clock to 950MHz and the Memory clock i took from 1200MHz to 1435MHz. When i run a benchmark like 3D Mark11 the Vision Engine Control Center says my Core clock never goes over 850MHz and memory never gets over 1200MHz. I have ran 3 different benchmarks with it at factory clock and with it overclocked to what i stated. On every benchmark i see absolutely no improvement, and even on the Heaven benchmark with it at factory clock my score was 1 point better. I have read if you overclock passed 900MHz you have to up the GPU voltage. AMD Overdrive program said my GPU voltage was at 1.2. Help needed to get this overclocked right and with some kind of improvement when overclocked.
My System Specs:
AMD Phenom II x4 955 Black Edition--overclocked from 3.2MHz to 3.6Mhz
MSI 970A-G45 motherboard
Video card listed in title
PNY 8Gigs Ram at 1066
Diablotek 600watt PSU
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM 32MB buffer
