Well i thought hell why not and downloaded Cool bits and decided to use the auto overclocking function (cant remember whats it was called.)

This is the card i have http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/119500
This is what the card actualy looks like though ebuyer has the wrong pic.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150195

My over clock now has the card running at
Core 514 mhz
Ram 1.45 ghz

At idle the card was running at 48 degrees c but mind you its been running all day.

After 3d mark 06 i got 53 degrees c here is my score anyway i might of got the ram a bit muddled up errm http://service.futuremark.com/orb/ [...] ID=7229938

Anyway does everything seem fine and if it does hoe much more do you suggest i overclock it?

Not to be a stickler, but this post should have been here: Overclocking 3D Chips forum

Your temps are fine. Your 3DMark05 score looks okay. I don't know your cards limits, but you should be able to push more out of it if that's your max temp. Push it a little farther. Also try scanning for artifacts in ATITool for a while. (Don't be confused, the artifact scanning works fine on nVidia cards as well.)

A "stable" OC should produce no artifacts for an hour. If it doesn't pass that, throttle down a small amount, wait for the temps to drop, and scan again. Repeat until it works. Have fun.

I have that very same XFX card believe me you can really push it hard with stock cooling and not Volt moding. with my XFX 7900GT i was able to do 1790memory and 590(sometimes 600)core.

7900GS (same architecture) @ 575/825 > (1.65GHz) stable with a artifact every now and again. Your memory should be able to hit 1.55GHz on safe ground at the least being an XFX. Good company.

Thanks for the link to ATITool, that's very useful. When one runs the artifact scaning, is the cube supposed to stop rotating, or is mine not working correctly?

Yeah, it's not supposed to spin when scanning. I even updated to 0.26 to confirm this. (And now it recognizes my card!)

Just click "Scan for Artifacts" in the bottom left corner in the right window. It should change to "Abort" if you click it. The left window should then stop rotating and say "Running for #:##:##" in the title bar and "No errors for ##:##.## sec." in the bottom left of the window.

It does a fairly decent job detecting artifacts on its own. If the title bar time and the window time match after an hour you should have a stable OC.
