The main issues when overclocking this card was with the overclocking tools support. First of all, the Memory speed cannot be raised over 1140+MHz with any tools right now. Well it's still higher clocked than any 1900XTX Memory right? True, but the Memory latency on the GDDR4 of this card is tuned down quite a lot as compared to the GDDR3 Memory on the X1900XTX. So in fact the Memory isn't that fast unless you can get a software to overclock it far above 1140+MHz which it is definitely capable of. At 900+MHz Core, this card is definitely Memory Bandwidth limited

im kinda out of the loop on new hardware but you should be able to dump and mod your bios for the card to the clocks you want and then reflash.im not sure on what apps are compatible with your card for flashing or modding but im sure there has to be one that will work.
