Video Card Overclocking FAQ/Walkthrough?

[bobross419]

Does anyone know where I might be able to find an FAQ or walkthrough for overclocking an ATI HD 2600 Pro specifically, or ATI Cards in General?

Thanks

There's always the Catalyst interface. It should contain a tab for overclocking your card. You'll have to click on the lock to unlock the utility. Then you can try the auto tune function.

As far as a FAQ or step by step guide, I don't know. I've always upped the clock on the memory until artifacts or crashes, then upped the clock on the core until artifacts or crashes. I use the various 3DMarks to push the card.

Steps:
1) Clock core up
2) Test stability
3) Clock memory up
4) Test stability
5) Benchmark
6) Improve GPU cooling
7) Clock core up
8) Test stability
9) Clock memory up
10) Test stability
11) Benchmark
12) Buy new video card in disgust
13) Sell old video card
14) ...
15) Profit?

I should really go to sleep now.
