Mornin' all,
Been looking through the boards for a bit trying to see if I could find anyone with similar problems, but seeing as how I'm drawing a blank pretty much everywhere I thought I'd post something and see if any of the resident geniuses can help.
Right, I've just recently put together some bits in a case, I have a 2800+ sempron, k8n4e asus mb, 1gig crappy generic pc3200 ram, an x800 gto (powercolor), and probably a fairly naff 400w (or 450w) psu.
OK so i set everything up, all well and good and everything's working but sadly i can't help fiddling around with things that work perfectly well. So, trying to overclock my x800 and i can't quite believe how much this card sucks for overclocking. I mean I'm having difficulty gettin it to run just slightly above stock speeds. From 400/490 I got it to work at 420/510 quite happily but I've been seeing people on other sites and that saying they can clock it a lot higher with minimum fuss......... My main problem is that when clocked just a little above these (420/510) my monitor'll switch itself off after about 5-10mins as if it's not getting a signal from the card.......Anyone any idea why? I really want to play CoH at better settings (and maybe break the 10k 3dmark03 barrier, or is that just unrealistic?).......... Cheers gang
