What program would you recommend using for this card?
Also if you have oc'd it, i would like to know what you managed to get it too, but the only cooling i have in my case is the fan on cpu.

I had one and tried overclocking it on a 64 3000+ machine
Saw hardly any performance with battlefield 1942, though I didnt actually compare framerates. Just didnt seem any better.
You could most likely use the tool on the manufacture's cd.

Try coolbits or rivatuner.

Just like everyone else is saying ocing that card will get minor results.

I used coolbits.
From 250/400 default, I use it now at 300/470 on stock cooling, the difference is that now I don't see frames any more with fifa 2007 :D . I didn't check any framerates but it's definitly an improvement.

even with that card oc'ed, its worthless for online gaming, wont be bad for last place score and plenty of frustration from lack of kills :lol:

do the same thing i did b4 i upgraded from the 5200 to the 5900...

push the OC as far as possible till it smokes or freezes up, i had lots of fun in CSS with that card mainly OC it so far all the textures went pink or black, and my screen filled with lines.
