Overclocking Asus 9800 XT
Hello,
just wondering how much others can overclock this card. Mine doesn't overclock at all: stock= 412/365, highest overclock without artifacts= 425/375 (Rage 3D tweak). Regards |

Most of the hardware sites got much less in the way of overclocking out of
the Asus 9800XT compared to the cards fitted with the ATI stock cooling design...That's why I went for a 'made by' ATI card. How well it overclocks I don't know...it has not arrived yet!!! It's a shame because the Asus looks so trick..twin fans heat pipe and all. -- *****Replace 'NOSPAM' with 'btinternet' in the reply address***** "Tiny Tim" wrote in message . ..

Highest I got was 430/390. Even after modding the the back heatsink that is covering the memory. I've got an open case, 2 large casefans (11 cm diameter). One blowing over the back of the card and one pulling air away from the front (and cooling harddisks). Asus smartdoctor shows temps GPU/RAM - 42/38 in Windows and 48/44 when running UT2K3. I can't understand that I can't get a higher overclock with such relatively low temperatures. I don't think ASUS's cooling solution is the problem either. |

I'm thinking that the memory used is the issue. But, my max overclock of the memory went up to 390 from 375 after the mod to the heatsink. And, I've got an XPider full tower (2x90mm 'in' front, 2x90mm 'out' back, 1x120mm 'out' PSU above CPU, 1x90mm 'out' back of PSU, 1x80mm 'in' blowing directly on card from side). Haven't cared enough to remove the heatsink and see exactly what memory, is on the card. My performance gain, from my max overclock, was not stunning. The card is fast enough, at stock, for me. And stable, as Hell. Which is why I chose Asus. Always nice quality PCB. Just wanted to see what this biatch would do -- Strontium "It's no surprise, to me.

"Tiny Tim" spewed forth in such a glorious tone the following
gruel: Hello, just wondering how much others can overclock this card. Mine doesn't overclock at all: stock= 412/365, highest overclock without artifacts= 425/375 (Rage 3D tweak). I am running an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro @ 430/360 with stock cooling. I have a VGA Silencer on the way, since it seems to really drop the temps versus the stock HSF on the 9800 Pro. I also have some RAM HS's on the way too for good measure ($5, I mean, dang). Only problem on the 9800 Pro's it seems the Samsung memory bottoms out usually pretty quick, so I am concentrating on the GPU. I can run it @ 470/360, but it is artifact city, so hopefully the cooling will help. When the cooling supplies come in, I will start the process all over by testing GPU first then the mem, then together to find their sweet spot. But for a retail ATI Radeon 9800 Pro $299.95 card (on sale @ Circuit City) hitting 430/360 out of the box (and hitting 470/360, but with artifacts and serious heat issues), I can't complain.
