There is no safe way to overclock a $500+ card that can run ANYTHING you want all the while you not noticing the difference between what you have now and what you'll have when its OCed. :t

Agree with RamonGTP. Why taking the risk and O'cing this X800 XT Platinum Edition??
Anything might go wrong and this ATI might be History... As mentioned, this is a gr8 card which can run everything Flawlessly... and u might not notice the difference... My advice is to keep it as it is and enjoy it :t

Hi Phil

Your are running basically the same system as me and I have managed to squeeze the ati up to 550 mhz core and 600 mem but you will not notice the difference except in benchmarks where you will get a couple of hundred marks more, not worth it run stock until something is released that slows it down:D

ok thanks guys! I won't take the risk. :r
