nan0click Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I oced my 9800Pro with an R360 core to XT speeds, but the ATI tool program says that i get major artifacting, is this accurate or no? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
romeo55 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Pretty much, you CAN just ignore it but it isn;t what we'd call "stable," AtiTool has never failed me, if i OC something i always can trust that my OC isn;t to far BTW: are you on stock cooling? What brand card is it? Those can affect the OC even it has a XT core in it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
swifty11212 Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 dunno, i dont always go with ati tool. i use other apps to test also so i just dont rely on only 1 program. but i happen to get lazy and dont bother with testing for artifacts, i just clock down if i see them. besides 53 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 if anything i'd say atitool UNDERdetects... atm i'm using ati tray tools and the artifact checker is much more up-to-date and accurate imo rthdribl is a good artifact-check-by-eye... meaning you run it, and see if it spazzes out... it's really obvious if you're overdoing it... and somewhat obvious if you are just past stable...

oralpain Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 I've used both atitool and ati tray tool. Both do a pretty good job of detecting atifacts, but sometimes I find artifacts in real programs that niether of these utilities will find. Regardless, if either of these program detects aretifacts, you are getting artifacts, and the card cannot be called stable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigr Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 you know your stable by firing up bf2, it artifacts when not o/cing lol, sometimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccokeman Posted October 30, 2005 Posted October 30, 2005 Ati tool does a good job of helping you find the max stable oc for your card. Alot of times it will be bench stable but not game stable(artifact free). Just find your max and drop the clocks a few fsb and you should be right where you can run.

nan0click Posted November 2, 2005 Posted November 2, 2005 actually what i meant was is it too precise, like will it find artifacts before games actually would artifiact? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oralpain Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 In most cases yes, but I still would not call this too precise (no such thing IMO). It's good to have a safety margin. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigr Posted November 5, 2005 Posted November 5, 2005 yeah, id just loop 3d mark 05 to check for artifacting imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puck Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 In most cases atitool will find artifacts way before a game will. Best way is to use a mix of atitool, 3dmark05, and an actual game on max settings.Also, you never said what cooling you were using - if it is a silencer then try to reseat it becuase it should run xt speeds no problem with one unless it is not making good contact. If not I dont recommend ocing a 9800pro card on stock cooling. My aiw only hit 395-400mhz artifact free on stock cooling, and would freeze up at around 410 - 9800s are hotter then a lot of the newer cards.
