This is my third post (other 2 are on guru3d) to try and get an answer to my prob. This time ill put info about my card first to minimize confusion.
Sapphire radeon 9800 pro lite retail.
ON GPU DIE DETAILS:
ATI (logo)
R360
215R9RBKA11F
N02402.30
0334AA
Taiwan
RAM DETAILS:
SAMSUNG 349
K4D263238E - GC2A (2.86ns Checked from chart here)
WVK049GBA
In radlinker the card is 256bit 128mb.
GPU DIE
Cooler used vga silencer 3.0 installed = yes
Thermal paste = Arctic silver 3
RAM
Cooler used = No
Currently using original bios "radeon 9800 pro"
So problem? well you can see from the details that it is a r360 core and the cooling is well substancial to get running at least past 415 mhz core....
BUT this is not the case.. I use ati tool to find max core overclock and i keep getting to max core of 405mhz? WTF is going on? I see a good few posts of people getting overclocks of 415-420 at least and thats from a freakin 9800 non-pro.
My bios settings are correctly set at fastwrites off and agp frequency at 66mhz.
Used driver cleaner and have done a clean install of cat 4.7 beta
But no matter what i try to do i still keep getting max overclock at 405.00 This is bollox man.
Is there a problem With ATItool ver 0.20? or am i doing something wrong?
Hopefully somone can get me an answer this time cuz right now i have no idea what to do to get this bloody card to at least upto 415mhz core (reason being i want to do the xt flash) but until then I am stuck with 9800 pro at 405mhz 5953 score on 3d mark which is ok but im not satisfied cuz i bought the vga silencer with expectations much higher than that.
