Which brand name do you have there? Currently I simply leave the MSI version stock even when gaming since it's far from a true gaming card. It's has been doing well with several games even in Vista simply by running it stock. That's the real recommendation for this model. You can try the ATI tool but you probably won't get very far without problems.

Download ATI Tool, and overclock it using that
![]() You should be able to overclock it a decent amount, but dont expect a huge increase in performance.

It doesnt matter if its from ATI, or from MSI, PNY, etc, they all perform the same at stock speeds. And depending on how much you can overclock, but I doubt you'll notice much of a difference.

The main problem you will run into fast trying to push things on this card is "crashola"! It's simply not a performance model you can crank up too much without ending up with a big headache. I've had the MSI version of it here since spring of 2006 and already went through this. You won't get anything spectacular while it's still been a good stock model here.
