You can just get the Omega drivers, which include Catalyst and give you full capability to overclock.

No, they could give us crap a crap OC program. Few warranties cover Overclocking, and if its inferior and they say "under no circumstances is ATI or any manufacturer responsible for damages due to overclocking a graphics card by any mean" then your screwed if you fry it with crap software..

UHHHH i just installed my catalyst control center for my new x850xt and it has overclocking options and a temperature readout "overdrive" is what they called it.

SO they already do

The thing is though with overdrive, all u do is up the core/mem clocks, and get a temp readout. There's nothing that's actually stressing the card, so once u get it up mega high, u go into a game, and get artifacts, and all sorts of weird polygonal effects. ATi Tool for example, has an attached window with a furry cube spinning, which wil heat up the card and has a test feature to detect any artifacts it's just way better than catalyst's own way.
