Overclocking amd cards
First and foremost, always monitor system info..e.g.,temps, voltages, etc using utilities such as CPU-Z and GPU-Z when attempting to overclock in order to avoid 'cooking' your system: CPU-Z-- http://majorgeeks.com/CPU-Z_d425.html GPU-Z-- http://majorgeeks.com/GPU-Z_d5796.html Depending on the model AMD/ATI graphics card, you can use either: AMD Overdrive -- http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloa...uirements.aspx (Note: If AMD-ATI Catalyst/Vision Control Center is installed, click AMD Overdrive tab).

Overclocking amd cards
Remember that it's a little risky.
And I'd say, don't use the ATI Catalyst control panel's auto-overclocking. It fractured a 4670 for me. It still runs ok, but crashes if I engage the Overdrive. The auto-overclock went too far, I'd say. It was reaching collosal heights without much testing. I was getting ecstatic! Going bit-by-bit is the way, running a torture test for each small step. Much less likelihood of damage that way. -- Ed Light Better World News TV Channel: http://realnews.com Iraq Veterans Against the War and Related: http://ivaw.org http://couragetoresist.org http://antiwar.com Send spam to the FTC at Thanks, robots. |
