Inexperienced with overclocking, could use some help OC'ing ATI 4850.
Hey 7 forums,
Like the title says, even though I built my own computer, I never really looked in to Overclocking anything. Now,though, as games become more advanced, and my card starts to show its flaws, im hoping to overclock my ATI Radeon HD 4850 512mb 256-bit Graphic card.
So far, I've gone into the Catalyst control center, and I've turned on the Overdrive feature, and I set it to run some auto-tests to figure out what the best configuration was. It took a while, and i wasnt able to see what was happening in the mean time, so I ended it prematurely.
Right now, This is what i have displayed on the screen:
The test ended with the GPU at 680... but in that bar above the sliders, it still displays 500. And yes, the settings have been applied.. but other than that I could use some guidance.
I don't really have a specific question to ask, but I would greatly appreciate if someone would help a complete overclocking amature get started.
Thank you.
