5770 Overclock?

[olibb]

So i recently brought a ATI 5770 from a Nvidia 9400. I can now run all games on pretty much max settings - so BF BC2 WOW etc. I only have an AMD 2.2GHz Dual Core - will this CPU be limiting the graphics card atall? Also in the ATI Control Centre there is an overclocking feature - is there any recomended overclock settings?

Ok, its made by "HIS" so can i still use MSI afterburner? Is there any good CPU overclocking software?

 

[olibb]

Ok - so i increase the clock mhz very slowly. Then once it starts to get unstable i increase the voltage slightly?

 

[olibb]

Ok, - I increase the clock speed - then try to load into windows - then try some sort of benchmarking program?

 

[olibb]

I have overlocked before but it was a long time ago!

 

[olibb]

Also can you reccomend any free good benchmarking software for CPU + GPU?

Ok FurMark score was 1900 at 2.2GHz
Overclocked to 2.4 GHZ and i got a score of 3600.....
AMAZING!

Ok finally managed 2.6GHz with a furmark score of 3900. Is there any way i can see if the GPU is still being limited?

My CPU temp is 32oc and at benchmark my Graphics card goes to 61oc

The CPU temp doesnt go above 33oc
I tried for 2.65 but i got BSOD!

Im already really pleased with the quality of the graphics!! Ive got a lot to go then! Ive got a AMD Athlon X2 4200+ 2.2GHz and a Gigabyte S Series GA-MA770-DS3. It says it supports Phemon and Phenom FX which means i could just poke a quad core into it? The ramm is some crucial stuff. My mobo only supports 800MHz i think. My ramm is running 5/5/5/18 @ 2.6GHz. DRAM Frequency of 230MHz on the Ramm.
