| oc'ing a flashed 9800 I flashed my Hercules radeon 9800np to a pro yesterday and I started oc'ing... I opened ATITool and used 'find max core' and 'find max mem'. the results are: core = 396 and mem = 366 Isn't this quite low? Can I continue oc'ing manually? Another thing: Now that my 9800np is a 9800 pro, can I flash it again to a 9800XT?? (I think not, but just to be shure) Thanks. |

| the core/mem found with atitool are supposed to be 100% artifact free, you might be able to clock higher with a few artifacts which are invisible to the eye. increasing cooling will help also about the flashing, if your videocard can run at XT speeds (both core/mem) then it should not be a problem.

| I have the same card and +- 400 core is normal. If you buy an vga silencer you can can add another 10 mhz on core, i advise you to place a fan blowing over the memsinks (i have +- 280 on mem). greetz btw flashing to an xt can only give you more problems ( the core of this card is an R350) so stay away from the xt flash. |

| ok, thanks for the info... When I will buy a new case, I will mod a sidehole in it for the memsinks. |

edit: By the way, what is "stock cooling"? I mean, what card do you have because there are many different types of stock cooling. My card doesn't have heatsinks on the ramchips for example. | |

| I'm very sure that you have artifacts!!! mine is at 394/370 and if I go any higher with the core I get dot-artifacts and if I go higher with the mem I get 'slash'-artifacts |

| My cards doesn't clock very high with ATITool. Only 360 Mhz memory and only 380 core!! And that sucks because I have a 9800 pro and stock speeds are 378 (core) and 338 (mem). So you scores with a 9800 np with stock cooling aren't that bad I took a look at the log-file of ATITool and saw that my card produced 1 artifact when ATITool clocked it higher then 383 Mhz. So I clocked my core a bit higher and I don't have visuable artifacts. But when I clock the core to XT-speeds (412), I have to many artifacts. This week I'll cool the gpu with water and put some sinks on the memory and then I'll try again. Hopefully with better results. |
