Help Using ATitools with 8800gtx

I've read tons of forums and guides on the internet about overclocking your VGA. And I am just confused on one little part. When using AtiTools, do you up the core by say 5-10mhz then scan and then do the memory 5-10mhz and scan again and keep going back and forth like that? Or do you do them at the same time? Thanks for all the help!
 
I would do one at a time to find the ceiling of both individually first, but maybe that's just me.
 
The best thing to do is find the maximum stable core first, then find the maximum stable memory, subtract ~5% from that, and test that to see if it's stable.

Do what you said; increase core by 10MHz, wait around a minute, then increase core again. Eventually, you'll see artifacts. Subtract around 5% from that, that's your core speed. Do the same for memory. This way, if you get an artifact, you know that it's your core that is the problem, not the memory. If you increase both at the same time, you'll never know what the source of the artifact is. Just like in any overclocking, you want to isolate different components and find the maximum of each.
