PSS Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 ds mem: 500*2 = 1000, exact same settings. PSS, have a look at the Ati Silencer Cooler (nr 5 rev 2 in your case for the x800xl). It will exhaust hot air to back, is quiet and cools better then stockfan. Ok price. Push it up 10/10 and have an AQ3 run (i prefer that one because its short), compare scores and so one. I need a program that tests stability of the overclock. I dont want crashes and hangs due to the overclock. When ATI tool finds the max core or mem, does it gaurantee 100% stability?

xer0trigger Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Mmmm, not exactly, but it's close. I usually back off the timings about 5MHz just to be safe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSS Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Ok, so if I set it to "Mind max core" overnight...Nothing bad will happen right? I dont want to burn out my card. I've never overclocked GPUs, CPUs seem so much easier.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xer0trigger Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 No, actually it won't set those values for you until hit apply, so if you let it run overnight to find the max you should be fine. On a side note, ATI Tool, when finding my max core (not mem), locked up the system every time. With the Rage3D CCC Tweaker that didn't happen. Not sure if that was buggy code, the drivers, or what. But just FYI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSS Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Ok I'll set it now. It's 11:55 here in NYC, so I'll report back at 6:30 EST when I come back from work... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin. Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Imo its not worth overclocking your X800XL, i did a 450/1100 with mine, and well...it did give me 250 more points in 3dmark05 lol, besides that it didnt really improve my framerates in bf2 etc. with more than 3-5 fps so imo just leave the beauty as it is for now.

rhiridflaidd Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I've backed off from 450 to 430 on my x800. Personally I found overclocking my graphics card a lot lot lot easier than my cpu and memory. I've seen a big performance hike from the latest omega drivers over the older omega drivers- and ati tray tools that comes bundled with the omegas seem very nice indeed. 3d mark went up 200 points with the new drivers.

Girth_Maul Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I recommend using ATI Tray Tools HERE Previously I used RAD Linker, ( which creates shortcuts for games, that applies over clocking and other settings specifically while the game runs), this is no longer being updated so now I use ATI Tray Tools which is more powerful to be honest anyway. The benefit being that your card is only over clocked when a game is running, and not 24/7 which must be a good thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amin. Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 Hmm are those omega drivers really safe? Or do they come with abit risk of damaging your gfx? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girth_Maul Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 I use the omega drivers, but i don't think you need to use them for the ati tray tools; normal drivers will suffice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xer0trigger Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 The Omega drivers are great - if he could keep up with the driver updates. They're completely safe, they're just tweaked for performance is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcpbit Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 How do i get the thermal monitoring to show up in ATITOOL for my x800xl? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
