Comment:
how do i overclock my AGP video Card... IT a APG: RV350, 128MB, 128-bit... radeon 9550'_______________________________________ The Thing I Want To Do Is.... How Do I Over Clock It with The crapy heat shink on It. How Far Can I Overclock It With Out, killing It. I Use The ATITOOL And I Can Bring it Up To 300MHZ Compard To 250MHZ, And The Memory 200MHZ Compard To 195MHZ...................
Well Can You Help Me.. And Tell My How Far I Can OverClock It with out killing it.... and if your guys know where i can get better heat Shinks
If you have ATI Tool, what's the problem? Don't you know how to use it? After you find the Max Core & the Max Mem, then you can experiment with the different settings in between. I'm not at my machine right now so I can check the ATI log, but I think my Core maxed at 460MHz before encountering artifacts...& the memory maxed at about 270MHz. I would never run it that high though. I've been keeping it at 333/233 & it seems to be fine. I've done some benchtesting at different settings using 3DMark03 & AquaMark3 & the difference over the default setting is significant.

Ok But Heres The Probem When I Looked At The Log... Every It It started It Said: Temperature monitoring: not supported Soo If I Run the Test It Well Go For Ever And It Will Kill My video Card...... becuase It Happen To My Dad's Video Card...
So Where Can i Get The Verson Where It monitors The Temperature....
I Tryed The Beta But. When I Overclock It Alitte.. The Screen Went Blank And It when it Came Back on. Alittle Window Poped up and said: Boot Failer. And The Screen when To 600x800 And It's on 1-bit... And I Had TO Boot It 5 Times So the Video Card Well Work...
"So Where Can i Get The Verson Where It monitors The Temperature...."
Why do you use caps so much? It's annoying! As for the above question...if the board doesn't support temp monitoring, there's nothing you can do about it, unless you wanna buy & install your own temp sensor.
The GPU used on the 9550 is the exact same one that's used on the 9600 & 9600Pro. The default speed for the 9600 is 325MHz, & for the 9600Pro it's 400MHz. ATI built an overclocking "lock" into it's Catalyst drivers, but you can work around that with ATiTOOL or you can do a BIOS mod:
If you copy the number off one of the memory chips on your card, then do a search, you may find out what the default speed is...then you'll know if the RAM is underclocked or not. My card uses HYNIX HY5DU281622ET-5 which is designed for 200MHz (DDR400), so I obviously can't push it as far as I could if it was designed for 250MHz (DDR500).
well, your cpu and mem speed doesn't pull of too high. My VGAcard is Abit R9550XTurbo-Guru. Set it onto Turbo mode, i could push it to 525/325Mhz with atitool 0.0.23. 3DMark 03:4220

it's kinda confusing, if i set my video card to Normal mode, the reading in ATI Tools says my card has RV350 chip type, but if i set it to Turbo mode, the readings says RV 360.
