ATI Overdrive?

[ufbluebomber]

Hey, I tried looking aroud the forum but I didn't find too much on the overdrive option on ATI cards. I was just wondering what "overdrive" is and if it'll hurt my system. Since I'm runing a OEM ATI X800 256 card (on a Dell 8400, p4 3.0 w/HT and 1 gig ram) I didn't get any instructions or help guides. I have the regular 5.2 drivers from ATI not the omega drivers. Thanks.

It is the software auto overclocker that comes with the ati cat's, it will usually overclocked the card within 5-7% which is considered safe, don't worry about it, it is better to have it on than turned off

Use RadLinker to overclock your videocard. I managed to get my modded 16-pipe X800 Pro from 475MHz core to 560Mhz and the GDDR3 from 450MHz to 590MHz.
