My card:
sapphire 9800pro on XT pcb, R60 core, hynix 2.6 128meg 256bit.
My cooling:
VGA silencer rev. 2 and phrozen cpu monster ram sinks.
Programs used:
3dmark03, ATITool, Powerstrip
Notice:
ALL Core and Memory Speeds are rounded down.
My overclocking adventure:
Stock core//memory cooling clock: 390//395
First i set my card to 412//410 artifacted hard core
Second Try: 412//405 lesser artifacts
third: 400//400 few artifacts but almost not noticable
fourth: 400//395 no artifacts (rejoices!)
fifth: 412/395 no artifacts (YAY!)
sixth: 430/395 none... Even Happier
seventh: 450/395 Wets Pants!
8th: 460//395 Creams pants
9th: 472//395 crap i seen a white spot! did i not clean the screen off?
10th: 465//395 Zero!
11th: 467//395 one "tear"
12th: 465//395 looped 8 times on nature to warm that sucker up. No Artifacts
13th: 465//395 w/ ATI tool it dropped core down to 463ish
14th: 463//397 artifacts
15th: 463//395 w/ ATI tool didnt drop memory yay!
16th: 463//395 testing both core and memory no artifacts.
17th: UT2K4 Testing Time! Zero artifacts at 472.5//400
New clock 465//395
i think if the ram sinks are making no difference then i might just take em off. i know my stock cooling clocks were completely stable and i know my 463//395 is stable zero artifacts for a few hours of ati tool.
