Got a 9700 pro!

[ZeLL]

I got a 9700 pro about a week ago for $270. Its pretty sweet so far. Anyone know how to overclock one of these? Gonna bring it up slowly.

You have a 9700 Pro, and you need to OC? No, Zell, as good a shot as you are, I'd say you need to underclock it, I mean, be fair. ;)

I use Rage3d Tweak. (http://www.rage3d.com/r3dtweak/) Works very nicely. :thumbs:

My feelings on overclocking this card is to only do it if you are playing games where the card is struggling with the graphics. I haven&#39;t found any games yet to make the card struggle. If you want to do it for benchmarking that is one thing. I overclocked mine but now have it set back to original clock speeds because I can&#39;t tell the difference while playing. No need to heat the card up and possibly cut the life of the card.

[ZeLL]

YOUR ONE FUNNY GUY PURE... :unsure: I was wanting to do it just for my benchmark on 3dmark01 and 03. I&#39;ll try the Rage one. I&#39;ve heard the radeonator is good to but I&#39;ll go with your rage.

[ZeLL]

I&#39;m overclocking it slowly now with the Rage and after I only go up a couple mhz, my system stops and goes to this blue screen saying its dumping my physical memory and some error. It does it every time, whats up?

i agree slice and think people are crazy burning out such an expensive and efficient ppiece of hardware. no need to do it with 9700 pro. but what the hell it&#39;s your money...goodluck and post your scores :thumbs:

That is bad. Do you have the latest drivers and the latest bios for your motherboard? I have had that happen to me when I overclocked my processer to high but not my graphics card.

[ZeLL]

The odd thing is that I was only overclocking it a couple mhz. I can&#39;t get it much over 280 for the core. God aren&#39;t computers a pain in the ass sometimes?&#33; :bandhead: I&#39;ll dl the latest bios for my motherboard. Thnx slice :thumbs:

280 for the core is pretty darn high. What is the default core speed?

[ZeLL]

Now that you mentioned it machine, my core original speed only came at 275&#33;&#33;&#33; Those mofos sold me a damn non pro. 275 is the non pro I think. Pro is a 325 I believe. Good news is i got the overclock to work. Some OC file was locked or something. Got it replaced and I can over clock my card safely up to 330 from what I&#39;ve noticed so far. The memory only gets up to about 310 though. I got rid of radeonator and rage3d because everytime I tried to turn on AA or other direct x inhancers, i got the blue screen of death. I&#39;m gonna do some good yelling to tech support that I bought my card from&#33;&#33;&#33; But even with a non pro guys, this card kicks ass&#33;&#33;&#33; Recommend greatly&#33;

[ZeLL]

Oh and by the way machine, nice computer specs. Make us unemployed people jealous :thumbs: &#33;

[OUTLAWS The Machine]

LOL. FOr some reason I was thinking you were running at 380MHz. I was like wft. I could not get nearly that much out of mine.
