I don't know whether its because of my CPU holding it back or if its the drivers but overclocking isn't doing anything for my 3D06 score .. With the card running at 900/950 I scored 40points less then with it at stock ...
I'm using RivaTuner .. I can't get the AMD GPU Clock tool to work, it ses it can't detect any thing ..
rivatuner only lets you overclock one of the gpus while AMD GPU tool lets you see both. maybe thats why you're not seeing any changes in your 3dmark score. To get AMD GPU working you need the updated ToolLib.dll file. You can get it here:

You can read more about using AMD GPU @ http://www.nordichardware.com/Guides/?page=3&skrivelse=516. It has instructions for the 2900XT but it's the same overall process.
In the end, I think higher core gets more performance than higher mem speeds. My stock run with cat 8.3 was 18,700. With mem bumped up to 1100 mhz from 900 the score went up to 18900. But with only 900mhz core from 825, i got 19100. I really wish my core could go higher. volt mods anyone?
