Sorry if this is a repost, I tried to find a similar thread (searched for overclocking 9800). Basically the title says it all, so far I have only reached 406 core and 351 memory. Although I could probably go further, when I push up bot the settings higher (not sure exactly how much) my video card automatically underclocks itself o_O. I check powerstrip after running 3dmark and all of a sudden the mem or core speed falls 200 mghtz. I'm waiting for my VGA silencer before I start OCing this again, but when I finally recieve it, will it be beneficial for my performance if I raise the AGP voltage .1 or .2 Vs? Would doing so likely lower my 9800's lifespan significantly?

unfortionatly the regulators on the card will conteract any voltage increase you give it.

I was able to oc my asus radeon 9800 pro 256 meg ram to 398/728 maybe try dropping the vpu a bit and you'll beable to get a higher mem oc. I don't really know though. The fans died on my video card and I'm stuck with a geforce 2 mx 400 till my replacement arrives : (
