If you want to toy around with a GPU and OC it, get a 9550 (warning: it has absolutely horrible performance). First you flash the 9550 firmware with a 9600's firmware (cause 9550 is locked against OCing). Then you toy around with it using some next software (I used ATI tool, dont use rivatuner, it caps your max OC cause I went past it's max using ATI tool).
My results (without voltage change):
STOCK
core:250mhz
mem:250mhz

MAX STABLE
core:450mhz
mem:270mhz
Performance boost: 41.5%

MAX UNSTABLE BUT WORKING
core:480mhz
mem:280mhz
Performance boost: 48.1%

Post your results, how high did you OC your card (use any card, I just wanna see your OC)? (soon I'll be posting my 4850 OC)
I'll post a leaderboard soon if enough people post.
I didn't do any bench marking because this card is too weak (trust me), but go ahead and post your benchmarks if you feel like it.
 
I remember having my Radeon 9600 pro...flashed to XT :D

Still have it actualy in my old rig in the attic :P
 
hd 5970 900/1200 at 1.2 :D although i never really play at that clock, i just use the hd 5870s clocks, 850 and 1200 at 1.2 on the vcore.
 
What do I win? :P

Wow those are all awesome results, the two things I hate about old cards are that they are too slow and memory is near impossible to overclock.
 
Alright, the 4850 that I will be overclocking next is a gigabyte 1gb w/ a zalman fan, it already comes overclocked too (which is quite useless either way).
[gigabyteLINK]
Core Clock 700 MHz
Memory Clock 1880 MHz
Memory Type GDDR3
Memory Interface 256bit
 
I finally have my 4850 oced and everything.
My results:
--------------------Stock-------Overclock------Boost
Core clock--------625mhz--------800mhz------175mhz
Memory Clock----1880mhz------2200mhz------320mhz
Temps (idle/load)--N/A---------30'C/60'C-------N/A

hmm i don't really see an increase in anything and in 3dmark06 i actually lost 300 points vs my 8500gt(Major wtf moment) but plays games much better which is confusing the hell out of me :/ idk what the problem is maybe i'll reinstall drivers and see what happens.

OH yeah reinstalled drivers and fps are muchhhh better in 3dmark06 i scored 3.6k more and i believe the cpu is holding me back :P drivers stopped working and it messed everything up i have to reboot and i can't even get a decent overclock :(

Wow thats an awesome overclock.
Lol you dont see nvidia drivers screwing over much these days :P, what you do see screwing over is ATI, even though they release new drivers every month. I'm starting to think the updates do nothing. And after I overclocked my 4850 I went from 24fps on unigine heaven benchmark to 36fps =D using maxed out settings 1920x1080 direct x10 (opengl is 4fps slower cause I'm running opengl 3.3). And I'd like to point out gigabyte gamer HUD is gay on a 4850 cause overvoltage is useless (i bumped it by the slightest possible and my temps jumped another 10'C :0). And I can hit 825 mhz on core and 2300mhz on mem if I want, but temps will go up by 4-6'C (im paranoid about temps XD) even though its a stable temp I leave it as it is.

Lol i made a comparison of my 4850 vs goobermans gt240 (funny thing is my vid card was $100 his is now $90; it was definatly worth the $10 bucks XD)
<click it to see who won XD
Learn how to get BMP quality images like this one 10x smaller size in kb (same res) then the original file (this one was 846kb and now is 85.6kb)

Didn't you OC an i3-540 to 5.3GHz? I swear you do this for kicks :P

And wow, a 2/4 core/thread 5.3 ghz cpu? Thats insane
