BIG_E_12 · Oct 29, 2004, 06:14 PM

I have an ATI 9800pro with the stock factory cooling fan. I want to up the clock rate w/ out swapping the cooling system yet. I have the most update Omega Drivers. How Hi can and or should I go? If you have one of these cards and have it bumped up let me know what you have it set at. I play games like Far Cry, Doom 3, Delta force, etc. Any info is helpful info!

As with all kinds of overclocking it's best to simply find out by taking small steps at a time. Start with finding the limit for the graphics memory, as it should top out sooner than the core. Try raising the memory 5-10% and see if it still gives a glitch-free picture in games, and move slowly upwards if it does. With just the stock fan you should also make sure that there is some airflow through the system by the use of at least some case fan.
