Hi,
Can I just say thank you in advance for anyone who has taken the time to read my post and reply especially beacuse im prob 1 of a million who has asked the same/similar ques..
Ok.
I have a pretty old machine... All the ( I hope relevant) info below
MOBO Asus a7n266
1gb Ram (PC2100)
500w Power supply (www.ebuyer.com) brand
Athlon xp 2400+
(And a new) connect3d radeon 9800 pro 128mb
I think at standard it is 380MHz Engine/340 MHz Memory
I want to know how much it is 'safe' to overclock my graphics card by without me purchasing any additional cooling then standard...I dont want to burn my new card that I have waited an eternity 4 :|
because my machine is relatively old I really want 2 make the most out of new Graphics card.... anything 2 get a little more. -even if its a few mhz... as long as its safe level. I read somewhere that the Connect3d's are ok for OClocking.
I hope this makes sense
I have searched the net lots but couldnt find a specific answer for my particular question.
Thanks again...
p.s killing 2 birds with 1 stone... does anyone recommend Omega or ATI drivers for my 9800 pro... considering its becoming a bit outdated. I read somewhere the new ATI drivers catered mainly for enhancements in the newer models of ati radeon cards (x800etc) only... is this true?
Thx
