I read somewhere that there is a program that will find the highest stable oc of your video card for you. I tried to search the board but couldn't find it.

I downloaded RivaTuner, but I could only find manual oc options. Is it in that program, or is it in a different program?

Thanks for the help!

coolbits is the best one if you are new to the oc'ing scene.... itll give you a good base number to start w/ then just crank up each one slowly untill you get artifacts or the cooling you have isnt good enough.

Thanks for the quick responses!

Just downloaded coolbits, but I don't see where the auto-oc feature is or even how to oc with it. Is there a faq out there, or am I just missing something really obvious. All I can see that it does is identify some system specs.

Once you install coolbits you have to enter the main menu by right clicking on your desktop screen and selecting properties. Once that box comes up click on the right most tab and then select advanced. Once that box comes up select the tab for your graphics card and then look in the menu for overclocking. Another menu will come up and then you can select what you want. I'd recommend going with manual and then let it choose a starting point for you. Make sure that 3d is selected when you try this.

You are thinking of ATI Tool for ATI. Will scale frequencies while scanning for artifacts.

You can still use it to scan for artifacts w/an NV card, but not scale frequencies.

in my experience, the speed coolbits automatically sets is way to high. i get artifacts after extended gaming. its better to just test frequencies yourself.

I used Ati Tool v0.25 Beta 11 for my X800GTO and it worked swell... unfortunatelly it only scales frequencies of Ati cards as allready fbrdphreak mentioned. BUt u could still try to find someone who allready tried to OC the card - set the same frequencies and test it using Ati Tool - then play a bit and set the freqeuncies where Ur card is 100% stable - dont forget the temps - used the RivaTuner to monitor my core.
