[QUOTE="stones, post: 2467966, member: 540734"] Its just like overclocking your computers processor, you make it run at a higher frequency(faster), drawback is that the processor will generate more heat and be more suseptable to instability. Think Tim Taylor and more power. You have your core(processor) speed in Mhz Then you have your memory(RAM) speed in MHZ Increase the frequency and the performance increases, push it too far and everything crashes/locks up and on very rare occasion, burns to a little crisp. I used ATItool for OC'ing the video card(yes it does Nvidia cards too now:) ) The computers processor speed can be adjusted in bios. The highest I OC'ed the 7600gs 256 was 470core/470mem, I wouldn't reccomend it for daily use that way, it literally turned into a small furnace at that setting but it did run. 435core/450mem seems to be its stable 24/7 setting. The 9600pro 256 went to 513core/200mem, the memory absolutely would not overclock without getting freaky. My 2.6GhzIntel Celron processor gets unstable at anything over 2.8Ghz, a new processor is in the mail. -Note- No two cards will OC exacty the same, this is just an example, attempting the same numbers on your own identical card may not be possible (standard disclaimer).
