    i overclocked with atitool and got a stable clock but riva tuner charts shows this.(look at PIC)



    riva tuner shows that my shader clock is over 1500. is my max suppose to be at 1500?

    What were you overclocking? Core, or memory, or both?

    not every card can overclock that well. even if its the same model card from the same manufacturer some will be much better overclocker than others.

    hmm this is dumb question, but did you plug in the 6-pin power?
