The X800XT's had a decent clock already, you will probably get more from the memory than the core.
Setup a overclock profile, save settings and fan speeds ect.
Then go into settings and tick the box - lock reference divider.
Then hit the tab to find max memory or core, mine stops and gives a donk noise when it can't go any further.
Back the settings of by about 5 to 10MHz and set and save.
I havn't had any problems with this method myself, testing and scanning.
