X1600Pro 256mb OVERCLOCKING...

I am getting a x1600Pro, but I need to know how far most people can get their cards up to, any info would be great.

I highly recommend that you not waste your money on this card! I have one (512 mb) and its a P.O.S.! If you do get one, at least make sure that you're getting one with DDR3 and NOT DDR2 memory as it makes a big difference. I don't honestly know what the full potential of this card would be though because I think my GPU is memory bound at DDR400 (effective 800 Mhz on the memory). Better off to get a 7600GS...look at the benchmarks man.....it wipes the floor with the X1600PRO in everything. You could just wait and save your money for a bad ass DX10 card when they come out at the wee end of this year or the very beginning of next year....just a thought.

I already ordered the card, it seems to beat the 7600gs and 6600gt in all the reviews I saw. Anyways, i've overclocked before and know what im doing, but instead of doing all the other shit like testing I just want to know what some regular clocks it can go to... I only got this card because it was cheap 80$ and im waiting to DX10 cards to be out!!
