You do have to be reasonable with your expectations as well. The latest AMD GPU Clock tool at Guru3D will do the trick for you. I use AMD GPU Clock tool to set the clock speeds and MSI Afterburner to set the fan speed.

I've used the AMD GPU Clock Tool with success, but is there a way for it to remember my settings? It seems that every time I reboot they are back to stock; and even if I save the profile in MSI Afterburner with the OC'd numbers it goes back to normal (725/1000)

You may be setting your overclock too high for your card.

That's exactly how I use both programs myself.

I think that's a good thing. A safety feature in case you go over your cards limits. I'm unsure how to save the profile of a successful overclock.

hey actionstan. Are the clocks stated in ur sig working...cuz I tried ocing my 4870 and I can't seem to get much...830,1100 if failing 10k. IS 790, 1100 worth shortening the life span of mah gpu?

 

 

Also, what is ur steam acc so we can l4d. I have a feeling that ur worth playing with. (unlike random noobs that rage 10k everywhere).

 

EDIT: I tried 790,110 and it seems stable. The uped it to 800,1100 and it's still working fine. Although I am still not sure if it's a good oc (800,1100). If it is, I'll go ahead and flash those clocks.
