Default Overclocking ATI Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro video card?

Hey, I just bought an ATI Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro video card from
NewEgg. It should arrive in two days. I saw in the user reviews lots
of people making comments on how they successfully overclocked the
videocard to 9800XT speeds! Along with the videocard I bought an
Arctic VGA Cooler and BGA ramsinks, so I should be equipped to
overclock. Now the only thing I have left to ask is ... how do I
overclock? Is there some utility that runs under Windows, or do I
have to tweak the settings through the BIOS, or what? Thanks a lot.

Google for "Rage3D Tweak".

If the video card comes with a big heat sink without a fan, you might
have to get a fan to cool it should you decide to overclock it.

Use Radlinker. Free to download from the net, and integrates in the normal
video settings under a new "clock rate" tab.
First visit www.guru3D.com
where you will find a lot of useful info about the Radeon 9000 series.

hi, download omega drivers. they come with a utility called ati tool that
you can use to overclock both memory and core clock speeds. it's a windows
app and it's very easy to use.
