??? OC question and guidence?

Hey all

I just bought a 9500 Pro and was wondering what was best to set the highest. Memory or core? It seems that I can clock the other higher if I lower the other, so which way should I go. Actually if I clock the core up when I have my memory at a certain level I get artefacts and I don’t want that. What about agp voltage, is that something I should set? I have auto, 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 I seem to remember.

Thanks up front

Harboe

The trick to overclocking is just to mess around with it and find the best settings for you. But if you OC you mem to high theres no advantage because the core wont be able to talk to as fast. So i would try to keep then within about a 75mhz range.

and increased voltage might give you more clocks but at the cost of more heat which causes more artifacting. whew! say that 5 times fast.

if you have watercooling I would increase the volts if you're on air, I would not up the AGP voltage.

for your card just raise core as high as possible then memory and once you're there bench it. 2k1 and 2k3. then raise the mem as high as possible then the core and then repeat benches. see which one yields better results.

then post back here and let us know

Hey thanks for repeating it. I never got it the first time. I heard rumours of it helping somehow, but I didn't know how. I guess I'll be busting down the AGPVoltage right now Thanks, Shai.

Shuki, are you saying that, by increasing the Agp voltage, one can actually get higher core clocks??
