Might as well overclock my cards for the hell of it, and then move onto my CPU.
I have EVGA Precision open, I have the Core Clock and Shader Clock linked together, they currently at CC-600, SC-1500, and MC-900. GPU1 is at 57C and GPU2 is at 40C.

I want to OC the cards to at least notice a difference in games and or benching.



What should I do?




Thanks.
 
OC'ing cards isn't a big deal, you can't break them, so just go for it!

Trial and error, it's the only way. Use ATI Tool to 'Scan for Artifacts'.
 
I have aftermarket coolers on them, so that should help.

I'll probably overclock them later tonight, what's the usual 'g-spot' for the cards?




Thanks.

Well, there's always a chance of that, but it's very rare. Especially since they can stand temperatures up to 100c.

There isn't a sweet spot, much like a CPU. It's just down to trial and error to find the highest clock you can get on your cards.

I wouldn't expect to be able to get anything over 750 on the Core a the most though, unless you voltmod 'em.
 
Well I clocked the cards to 700/1800/975, and people are saying it should be stable, I downloaded ATITool, but should I just play some games? What problems should I be looking for? And how much higher do you think I should go?



I want to try and OC my CPU later.
