Default AIW 9800 pro overclocking.

I'm currently overclocking my card with ATITool 0.24 and at first i could oc the core to 398 and mem to 378, now I can only over clock it to 382 and mem stock. What should I do now ? Do drivers change anythign to overclocking ? Or maybe getting fresh BIOS for my card ? Any help please ?

drivers actually do make a difference, sometimes a big one. also, AIW cards sometimes dont overclock too well because they start to have problems with the vivo and cards functions, so just in case, dont compare your overclock to a regular 9800pro.


try changeing your drivers up and see if you get a batter OC

Ok, thanks Adas. I'm currently using Omega's latest, does anyone know of other good drivers that usually are good for overclocking or should I go with Catalyst ?

Edit: I don't know what happened but now my VPU recover doesn't work anymore. I always had problems with my card that when I played a game, after 2 or 3 minutes, I get a black screen then VPU recover does his thing and I then I can play all I want. Now the screen goes black, I get these wierd video distortion, and then my monitor shuts itself off and I got to reboot. Did I break my VPU recover or do I just have to reclock my card ?

Help anyone ? I can't play any games at the moment so what should I do ? Go back to stock speeds or do something about the VPU recover (if it isn't broke) ?
