Cyan007

I'm fairly new to the overclocking scene but I understand how it works. I have a Sapphire ATI Radeon 9800Pro 128MB DDR card. I have the newest Omega drivers and I used the included RadLinker. I read up on anything I could find about overclocking and then went ahead and did it.

I noticed when it was too high I would see visual problems when I ran the first test in 3dmark03 so I lowered it to the point in which I don't see any more problems. What I'm confused about though is when I do the artifact test it still brings up 0? My current clock speed is at 438.75 and my memory clock at 364.50. Are the glitched images in 3DMark and artifacts related? Is there a program in which I can check the temp of my video card?

Thanks.

If you get any picture distortion.......then you need to turn it down a bit. Unless you have an XT card....then there isn't any software to help you. The XT cards have a diode to measure the temp onboard. You can connect a probe to your card if you are careful.

By the way......pretty good OC
