The highest score I can get on 3DMark for my radeon 8500 uno/ced is around 7000 but I cannot overclock my radeon more than 2 or 3 Mhz without a complete lock up......any solutions other than the voltage mod.....not willing to do that as its not that reliable and I dont have extra money to just spend. btw im using powerstrip if anyone knows of a better o/c program for the radeon im all ears

The most important thing when overclocking is the heat and then comes the voltage.

oh i know.......im just used to have lots of overclocking room with cards.......i had a gf2mx400 ddr edition and i could clock it from a standard of 200/334 up to 230/370 stable with no extra cooling needed. so just not used to have sumthing with a 275/275 that cant even hit 290/290 without xtreme measures lol
