Polishrob Posted May 16, 2002 Share Posted May 16, 2002 Ok...... I've been asking this question all over and none of the other Radeon owners responded. I asked how can u overclock a Radeon? I had to find out myself. I used Rage3D Tweak and I couldnt overclock it with that. So today I find PowerStrip v3.16 Build 281. Finally I overclocked my Radeon!!!! :p And got on improvement in 2001 3DMark from 8028 to 8449!! YES a more than 400 points extra! Now I am really happy:) :) :) and want to overclock it even more :D !! But first im getting a better heatsink and fans for my Radeon! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qba73 Posted June 13, 2002 Share Posted June 13, 2002 also if you have an 8500 the ceiling for overclocking is limited, even with heatsinks...i would not recommend modding the card, jus in case anything goes wrong tyou could return it under warranty...now if you physically mod it you void the warranty...and the gain you get with the heatsinks as opposed to now is minimal. the highest i got my card to and stable was 320/300, and thats without heatsinks. but i always run it at 300/300 more than enough for anyt game i throw at it. (the default is 275/275) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
