in pixel shader heavy games....core speed will see you a nice increase.

increase in memory, will increase bandwidth and should help at higher resolutions/ higher levels of AA and AF.

of course doing both nets you the maximum, but i think overclockin the core has more affect

thanks I canceled my x800xl for a ATI x800 pro refurb and now I am ocing it.

ATI Tool find the max core oc to be 572 and the max memory oc to be 547, a good comprmise seems to be 540/520 which never seems to go higher than 70 at load and shows no artifacts after 30 min, although I could also have done 500/540 and thats why I asked.

thanks for your help :)
