I just picked up a new Radeon, installed powerstrip, when I look at the performance section to o/c the card, the core setting is greyed out, so I am unable to bump it up.(Memory setting is available) From what I understand, the radeon likes to be set to the same core/memory speed for stability when overclocking. Any input would be appreciated.

i used powerstrip for 2 days a couple months ago... soo... this is totaly from the dead part of my brain, but if i remember correctly, when u change the memory setting, the core will become = to that setting...

by the way, the reason i stopped using it, is coz i woke up one morning, and my monitor was dead. supposedly nothing to do with powerstrip, but just a freaky coincidence.... i think.... anyways, no monitor now... but freaky, so no more powerstrip for me... besides the only benefit was a couple extra 3d winmarks which isn't a good benchmark anyways.

chances are if u have a radeon in any descent system, u can play todays games at most resolutions comfortable... my radeon plays at 1600x1200x32 very well, and no human eyes cannot see the difference between 78 and 82 fps.....
