Overclocking ATI

If anyone has read more than two of my blog posts, he/she knows that i just write about random stuff. Im interested in random things so i can't help it. For this particular blog post, if you aren't interested or know anything about graphics cards, you'll be completely lost.

In my desktop as of now, i have mid end set-up. Actually, when i built my computer a year ago, it was mid/high end, so it could be considered on the lower mid end. Regardless, my computer has a E8400 graphics card overclocked to 4.0GHz (not 4.2 since the summer temperature) a slightly overclocked HD4850. It's hard for me to remember the clocks on my 4850 since it's been months since i've even opened gpu-z up. I do remember the overclocking process though.

This blog stood out to me because it is about overclocking the HD4770, which is similar to my 4850. I didn't have much luck with overclocking my own graphics card so it's always nice to get some happiness vicariously.

This person had relative success with overclocking. I'm not sure of the temperatures his card reached but i just know that regardless of it, he reached almost identical performance as a stock 4850. He got his memory and gpu slightly further than i did, which is where i should've gone to. During the winter, i'll probably re-overclock my 4850 for kicks just to see where i can get it to (again).
