Overclocking my 5770

Well I usually get about 45 fps not recording and drop to 30 or so with recording right now. 1440x900

Also, budget is $10 lol

Edit: By budget did you mean new card budget? I don't really care to buy a new card right now, if anything my budget is for anything related to modding my card, possibly.

Yeah, I'm actually booting off an SSD which also has BF3 on it and recording to an independent drive.

for overclocking i use evga precision and it works great. how ever, to get the most out of your over clock, i find its best to figure out the OC yourself since it sometimes varies from system to system. what i usually do is open fraps just for the FPS counter and simply do the guess and check method. start with core and shader clock (witch are the same) and once you found the highest speed, start adjusting the memory clocks. while doing this, you should expect you game to crash or have artifacts. that's because the clocks are to high, so just lower them. once you found you magic numbers save your profile so you can easily overclock again. remember to un-overclock after your done playing because it will just do unneeded stress to your card. after overclocking my 5770, i got about 7-10 more fps.
