best software to overclock ati 9800 pro?

[Milo Malhame]

Hi all,

I Just upgraded to 9800 pro 128 meg, on win xp pro and 2800 Barton Athlon
system. I was wondering what you guys feel is the best overclocking software
to use on it?
The default clock speeds are 380 x 340. The memory chips are Samsung 313 if
thats of any help. Is there a recommended "safe" percentage to overclock to?
Advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Milo

RivaTuner works well for me, it supports all video cards from ATI and
nVidia, plus many from other manufacturers.

ATItool, and if you also want to overclock monitor refresh rates
(recommended, because if your fps is greater than the refresh rate of the
monitor, you wont actually see many of the extra frames!), then you might
consider Powerstrip.

Sorry to not answer the question... but it's been adequately answered
already... maybe:

Has anybody tried tricking the new Cats into thinking they have an XT if
they don't, and could that allow overclocking using the XT panel?

I thought the easiest way might be either a reg hack (I haven't bothered to
look for a key, as I don't think it'd work like this) or more likely
altering the device ID's in the driver .inf?

If not, I'll let you know inside of 24 hours.

The software doesn't really matter. It's the hardware that makes the
overclock successful.
