radlink

I just made a rad link for one of my games. The settings for my ATI Radeon 9500 Pro are 270 core and 270 memory according to the clock rate. What does anybody suggest as the highest I should set it without any problems?

I should of waited because I just totally jacked up my video card. My screen now looks like an Apple II screen from the early 80's.

WHEW!!!! I shut off my computer for about 15 minutes and my video card was back to normal. I really thought it was a goner. I guess I should research some more before I do anything like that again.

yeah if you are overclocking, do it by small incriments. i usually go up around 5mhz in clock speed and 3 in memory every so often. you should test it on stuff like games to make sure there are no artifacts though.

It's almost impossible to fry a video card from overclocking it. I accidently hit the "sync" button on powerstrip once, which made my GPU and RAM speeds run in sync. LoL, there was just snow all over my monitor. If you ever go too high like that, just reboot and all should be good.
