Hello, anyone overclock passed 700 mhz on the core of a 4850? If so, with what utility? I'm at 700 on both my 4850s and would like more.

I don't think there are any utilities that allow that at the moment.

You can do some stuff with Bios editing, but I'm not sure you want to do that.

Havnt tried it, and not sure theres an english version , but here, it is reputable of course http://translate.google.fr/transla [...] ISO-8859-1

ATI has just updated their overclocking program.

Good old FUaD, nothing like being 2 days late heheh

Has anyone tried it out yet?

Ive seen it on another forum, and it works, no fan control tho, and it can be tough on Vista64 to implement

Without fan control I don't think there's much point in going over the CCC limits, there's no way the stock fan speed is going to handle the OC in a game.

That's what 3rd party coolers are for.

That adds around $50 to the cost of the card though, halfway to the 4870 price. Then there are same performing cards like g92 8800gts that oc well on stock fan, for cheaper.

ppl are getting high overclocks and cool temps with the fan set at 45%

but you can buy the g92 8800gts you'll just get lower fps

you tell me whats the smart option

I got my 4870 to 480core and 1065 memory, the memory OC kept going but I stopped the Auto-Tune out of fear. This is with the CCC btw. Got the fan set to 45% using the profile edit, id idles around 55c-60c, hits mid 70s under load. Better than the 72c idle with no OC and the stock fan speed.

Like somebody else said above, I really dont think its safe to go outside the clocks that the CCC can do right now with the fan speed issue. You can always do the profile edit, but ive actualy had an instance where it failed to load on windows start.
