im totally clueless to overclocking gfx cards and one give me advice on how to overclock it safely

OK man, here's what you do.

I sugest you get a program like ATI Tool from Guru3D , (its free) and move the core slider up in 10mhz increments, then check for artifacts. Keep going untill the program finds some, and then back down untill they go away. (scan for artifacts for 30 sec. before moving on.) Let me know if you need clarifaction.

You can do the same for memory, just never do them at the same time. Get your core stable first, then do memory in 5mhz increments because it is more sensitive.

do you have msn so we can speek on there?

 

[amdoverclocker]

also what are the best modded drivers im a bit scared of modding my gfx incase i **** it up lol will i be able to reset to default or anything?

 

[ThE_GeNeRaL]

since your not experienced i recommend running max core then mem until atitool start detecting artifacts

Sorry man, I don't. I'm watching the forums though, so I'll get anything you say quick.

EDIT: I use the Omega drivers, they give me better performance, and are totaly reversible.

basically i need a program that will just detect how high my gfx can be overclocked with out me doing it if you get me because i really dnt want to damage it also can u give me link to omega drivers (Are they the best modded drivers?)

 

[ThE_GeNeRaL]

atitool does it read my post and i would recommend dna over omega get the new 4.12 from dna www.dna-drivers.nl

 

[amdoverclocker]

do you have msn we can talk a bit on there?? also how do u reckon my at 9550 will run o'c to maximum and using dna or omega drivers?

You can get ATI Tool at: http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/

The drivers should not effect your overclock much, but you should be able to get at least a 50mhz increase. (rough estimate, i got a 125mhz up in core, 50mhz up in mem)

And yes, they are the best.
