OC x1400 in Vista? Help

Hey. I know OC is really easy in many cases

however i don't know if there are any tool out there that overclocks the x1400 for vista

i tried ATItool Beta but after installed it, i dont really feel safe...

lota people on their forum said it gave them a crazy blue screen and they had to reinstall

As far as i observed, there isnt any custom driver or NEW drivers from ATI

So I feel kinda bad. My x1400 w/ 1.6 core 2 duo and 2g ram only runs CSS dust2 around 30 fps and 15 in the main fighting scene (CT spawn go out the ramp on the left. That place starts lagging... Dunno why... because of the junk cars lol?)

On everything high, low shadow, no vsync 4x AF 2x AA

From my observation most people could get around 60-90 fps on this setting

Gimme your thoughts and suggestions.

 

My suggestion is wait a while until either ATI Tool or another overclocker is released specifically for Vista, until then, I don't know of anything that works reliably. I'd suggest turning AA off, and maybe setting some of the settings to medium.

 

Turn off HDR and that will make a massive difference considering your GPU bound.

 

If you turn off AA, I am 100% positive that the game will run better. AA is very demanding to run. You should be able to get away with a little AF though. What resolution is this at, 1280 x 800? Also, disable the aero glass interface or whatever it is called when gaming, that will help as well. The people running 60-90 FPS are probably running on XP, Vista GPU drivers are quite there yet. Hope that helps.

 

I haven't even begun to look for overclocking utilities yet for ATI cards under Vista. I can't bring myself to trust any of those apps yet because they are all beta most likely. I'm hoping a nice, non-beta version of ATT comes out in the next few months.

 

sorry to bump this up.

thanks guys

I was wondering if the ATI tool beta for vista is any good, anybody had any experience with this?
