OC'ing my 9800pro

[Galapigos]

hey guys,

I'm kinda naive at Oc'ing, and would like suggestions on how to overclock my 9800pro. it's 128megs of hynix memory. thanks in advance!

atitool auto oc. once it finds your max, lower it by 1 or 2% and leave it at that.

I had that one and got no where

Use either ati tool or ati tray tools. I use the latter, because it has all kinds of tweaks - it's like having the CCC only without all the bloat. So, basically find the max that it tells you, and then back down by like 10mhz. Also download and run rthdribl, it's very sensitive to artifacts, and you can see the artifacts if you OC too far.

I used to have a r360 9800p with the hynix mem, and while the gpu and the mem could be OC'd pretty far (I ran mine at 440/375) you will need an aftermarket cooler to get any significant OC and keep the card from overheating. The mem especially gets really hot even at stock speeds, and it wont OC much without ramsinks.

i just downloaded the ati tray tool, but i don't see an auto OC function on there, what am I missing?

find max gpu

 

[Galapigos]

do I want to find max mem too? and do I do that before or after finding max for GPU

 

[rhino56]

i usually go for max gpu, then set it back to stock speed.
find max memory.
than set it to previous max gpu and find max mem.

what pcb is it?

Ok, first go to Hardware -> Overclock Settings and find your maximum OC. Once you decide how far you want to push it, save it as a profile. Also, save the default clocks as a profile. Now, goto Hardware -> Auto 2d/3d Overclocking. Set it to the OC profile for 3D and the default profile for 2D. Simple as that.
