    Basically it'll up your clocks and run burn in tests... checking for artifacts. If it finds none, it'll up the clocks some more, if it finds artifacts, it'll clock back a bit. It never stops this cycle, but after a while will settle on a max clock at which there are no artifacts.
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    Wink

    I would also find out what is the best your card can do from the forum or reviews, then put these settings in at a lower speed maybe 30-40 lower, if this works fine no artifacts then try some more.

    Thanks

    well for the core you will just have to find a stable speed. use 3dmark03 after you set the clockspeed to a higher frequency. go up 5MHz at a time and just run the trolls lait and mother nature test.if you get no artifcats up frequency again etc.

    for the mem, read off the code written on one of the BGAa. will start with something like HYB********. this will let us know the max speed the RAM is rated for though im guessing its 300MHz so it will do easily plsu probably a bit more. especially if you loosen the TRAS timing using ATI Tool 0.22.

    well this might be a problem, once ive ran atitool for a bit then shut it down and try to load anything on my pc its very slow to respond. is this a problem or is it just a normal thing until ive rebooted my machine?
    ill look at the numbers on the ram in the morning as im a tad drunk now.
