    I was just curious if anyone had found any means of overclocking for the 4870s, or maybe some newer working drivers.

    Edit : Not much luck, sorry to say. I've tried everything I can think of.

    Worked, to some extent. I successfully overclocked the core to 640 and memory to 900 (not much headroom =/), but It seems as though setting clocks with this disables crossfire, as My framerates actually dropped quite a bit from the OC. I could be totally wrong about that though.

    Anyway.. atleast I got my CPU to 3.2ghz =) (T9600)
