ATI Tool drops RAM speed

[ofn01]

I tried a bit of core overclocking with ATI Tool today
It took my 9600XT (499.50/297.00) up to 543.35/297.00

I then ran 3dmark03 and noted a bit of an increase and then left it
scanning for artifacts. I forgot to turn off the screensave though and
when I came back ATITool had stopped scanning.

ANyway - I saved the values as a profile but later noticed that it was
actually 543.35/295.83 - it had dropped the Memory clock just a bit???

I never asked it to scan for the highest RAM - and it never said that
any artifacts were found - can it just decide to drop the RAM speed??

That's just what happens when you change the clock by different increments.

Thats because the auto part does not work there is a bug in the program. The
same thing happened on my 9600XT. They have a users group and they are aware
of the bug.
