x850 pro Overclocking

[goobernoodles]

Ummm.... I just got my new rig running... x850 pro VIVO, which is known to be able to soft mod to x850xt pe...

I'm in the process of running ATI tool... finding the max core. It just leveled off at 630 Mhz. Um.. wow. Stock cooling. Powercolor. IS THIS FOR REAL?!!

Ok I just double checked. The stock speeds of the pro is 500/500. xt pe is 540/590. Did I seriously just overclock 90mhz over the stock speeds of the XT PE on stock cooling?

Just found the max memory - 620. I'm now running at 625/620. The x850xt pe runs at 540/590. I think I got my money's worth... >

And btw - I used arctic silver, though still the stock heatsink.

use ati tray tools. ati tool is not very accurate. sometimes it will miss artifacts.

Just downloaded, no artifacts at 625/620... I'm going to find the max core/mem again with this program.

that's a good o/c w stock got the same card.. only mine came with Hynix .. only got to 600/550

thats an awesome o'c, have you unlocked the other pipes?

Run a variety of tests. I found doom 3 picks up some things that other games wont. Also 3dmark. Watch em carefully. Different benchmarks test the cards differently. But overall, u usually just have to lower it slightly if u see some on one game vs another. Its usually like 5mhz or so difference. GJ

Well, actually, the max core was 632... I lowered it to 625. The max mem was around 622, and I took that down to 620.

God.. BF2 looks beautiful at 1280x1024 w/ high settings and 6x AA and 16x AF! mmm....

I'm going to go download 3dmark05, run it at stock speeds, then at 625/620, flash it then try the max core/mem again, THEN try 3dmark again. I'll let you guys know the differences.

Looking forward to seeing your scores, thats quite an OC, if that was typical, the X850pro would probably be a better deal than an X800XL

Wow nice oc!

**looks at his x800xt oc and sighs**.......

I read the review at hexus and that card is overclocking beast ;( . All you need is new ATI open gl fix and you should have a decent card comparable to 6800U easy : )

Nice. I almost bought one of these to softmod, but I went cheaper.

There's a ton of x850pros on ebay for under $200 too. Perhaps a better deal than the x800gto2.
