ATI Tool - help

[rounddodger]

Now that christmas is all done and dusted I decided to see how far I can push the Ultra I got. I've seen that ATI Tool is the way to go to test for artifacts and the like but I have no idea what to look for, how long to test for etc.

Is the find max core/memory actualy useful? What does everyone else do?

Also finally what's the latest version out there?

Cheers.

I already use RivaTuner 2.06 to up the core/shader/memory to 690/1700/2300 thus far and games run fine. Was just wondering how to test for artifacts and stability and the like? How long do I run ATI Tool for and what do I look for?

So far it's run for 30 mins and nothing's happened.

Just ran 0.27b4 for an hour and no artifacts, I take it that all is well?

Temps maxxed out at 72 degrees @ 700/1700/2300

Well, punched the overclock upto 700/1800/2320 without any issues in games or ATI tool. This card clocks quite nicely.

Max temp 73 degrees under ATI tool artifact checker.
