ATI Radeon 9700

[Geronimo]

I bought ATI Radeon 9700 (should be build by ATI, but it it probably
Saphire). when I try to overclock it by Rage 3D every time I set some new
speed setting and click apply it goes back to default (275/270). I heard
something about this, locked cards or something like this. what to do exept
flashing bios. would omega drivers be able to bypass this protection or...
thanks.

Mmm, I think your card if overheating I had that to when I tried to
run my 9500 on 9700 speeds. It worked...but after 25 minutes would get
unstable like hell. To bad, it works great halfway the clockspeeds of
the 9700.

So I guess you overclock to high, really overclocking should happen
slowly and... some cards don't have much "overclocking space", some
can only do 20Mhz extra orso.

Have you checked the temperature of the video card when it crashes? I
had to install a PCI slot cooler in the slot under the video card to get
my 9700 Pro to run stable in games like Morrowind.

but I tryed only to overlock for some 5mhz because i heard that they are
protected from overclocking so i wanted to see. could this turning off the
monitor be some protection from overclocking. (it happens in windows not in
games and win is running after the screen goes off). thanks guys.

which progs for overclocking are nown to bypass protections from
overclocking (are there any), powerstrip and omega maybe.

Some have bios-ses that are modified by the place they are made to
indeed not be overclockable. But in many cases with High End
cards..remember the 9700 Pro was once THE card the "overclock
overhead" might also be smaller, It is pretty hard to predict how far
a card can go.

wheel myne works on default 270/275 or 275/270 i'm not shure which one is
wich because i'm at work so i can't check. should i try to install omega and
overclock with it or no use to even try. thanks.

Boy you got that right. I'm using stock fan and have mine at 378 core
and 330.75 RAM with no problems. I'm using Omega 3.10's.

I tryed today the latest omega and it seems that I can oveclock my Radeon (I
try to sett it on 312/312 and then close the program and try RivaTuner to
check the speed and it seez 312/312) but after reboot of the windows
evverything is on default settings. what to do. thanks.

You have to click the "set" button. It's on the right I think. You also have
to click "use current" so it will use the new setting. Then it should hold
the setting at reboot.
