Help me push my 4870x2 Overclock :D

[{SAS}TB]

First off im pretty new to ATi after many years firmly sat in the green team, secondly the cars works more than acceptably at the stock settings, but ater getting th emax out of CCC (800/1000) I have been looking for ways of getting a bigger OC for benching, and heres where you good people come in

I have tried:

CCC - Max OC is 800/1000 - whack it straight up on both cores and away I go, jobs a good un but I want more !

ATI Tools - Just doesnt appear to work - After some Googling it may appear that it isnt compatable with the 4800 series - is this correct or am I just doing things plain wrong ?

I adjust the slider and the numbers just revert back to 0 - also CPUz doesnt show any increase in the clock speeds

ATI Tray Tools - Appears to "work" but I then get artifacts at 800/1000 - Which I know the card can "handle" as CCC achieves these speeds - I dont see why this is the case?

Rivatuna - Basically the same as ATI TT in that it "works" as in applies the overclock, but artifacts well below the 800/1000 I can get from CCC.

Any advise / suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Cheers

Mines 900/1000 in my ccc overdrive?

[{SAS}TB]

900 ?

Mine only goes to 800 ?!?!?

Got pics ?

[Ya Mother]

2 secs....my cards been flashed.

[Ya Mother]

[{SAS}TB]

Ah yes, mines got 800/1000

[Ya Mother]

So whats the most you have got out of it then.... when benching? you use 3dmark 06 ?

[{SAS}TB]

Highest so far with 3.8GHz

cool, i finally just got round to building Rig 1 in my sig, only air atm till i have installed vista and made sure everything works.
I'll see what i can get out of her on air then rebuld - some extra cutting of the case is required me think
I'll post a couple of pics in a min

[Ya Mother]

no i meant what was the highest you clocked your card ie 850/1000 before it started artifacting?
Also is it true ati tool doesnt work on vista 64? (something to do with driver signing).
might try download it now.

[Ya Mother]

Well it downloaded. driver signing was an issue just like rivertuner.....but windows sorted it out.
just done a clock of 852/1000 with no errors. my gpu temp only went up to 32c after 2 minutes of full load. according to ccc? will give it a more thorough going over at the weekend. and go for a 4.ghz clock with the cpu.

[Ya Mother]

Played cod 4 for 5 minutes and it froze then bsod? wasnt getn any errors in ati tool so dont understand what happened? dropped it back to 802/1000 which is what some people have from these cards....normally 790/1000....but i want more....more i say.....muahahahaha.
