Comment: I used Ati Tool to overclock my Sapphire Radeon 9550 and now it is Core 435 MHz Mem 273 MHz and it works much better than before :)) Can anybody tell me is that safe or I should decrease core frequency? I run on overclocked frequences only when I play games, otherwise I use standart.

Reply: (edit)Not bad! I don't push my 9550 near that far. If you're concerned, try experimenting with the clock settings & running benchtests after each change...see if you can find a happy medium, but as long as it appears stable & you don't run the O/c'd settings all the time, you're probably OK as-is. Are you able to monitor the temp? ASUS A7N8X-X

Reply: (edit)When I run Ati Tool it even goes up to 460 MHz without problem but I'm not risking to leave it at such high freq. Memory above 283 MHz starts giving artifacts and I decided to leave it about 10 MHz below.If I was able to monitor temp I would probably leave core on 450 if it is not generating much heat but I don't know how high the temperature is.So my videocard isn't overclocked all the time only when I play games.And I'm pleased with this as it adds 7-8 maybe more frames :) Asus A7V600-KT600-X

Reply: (edit)nice increase, I like ATI tool, I used it all the time when I had my 9800se card. Try runng "FRAPS" benchmark to create a log of your average FPS before and after your overclock. People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for the freedom of thought which they seldom use.
