Overclocking a 9600XT? With Artic Cooling?

the_antipop · 11th October 2005, 7:35 AM

Hello,

I have a Gigabyte ATI Radeon 9600XT with Artic Cooling, and I was wondering (first time with ATI), how do you overclock them? Is there a program? Do I do it manually? What do I do?

Also - What will a 9600XT with AC Overclock to? Will it be quite abit more performence?

Thanks.

You can use a program called ATITool,Link
I dont know what performance you will get though.

i see your server is faster than your main pc, why is that? out of curiuosity.. wouldnt you want your main PC to be better than a server even in CPU Porformance and Graphical power?

if your going to o/c to see better benchmark results then i guess you'll get abit more points but in real life i don't think you'll see much of a difference...

That depends on how high you can overclock your card. Still, I killed my 9600pro by overclocking.

the biggest bottle neck is the ram so try overclocking the ram first, i have a HIS 9600XT turbo and a AC cooler i got it to about 50mhz o/c my mobo was dying so i dont know how far i could go.
