I un-installed the ATI official drivers and installed OmegaDrivers along with the ATI Tray Tools. Then I decided to play around with the overclocking part of ATI Tray tools.

This is what I've got so far:

Baseline Benchmark:
GPU : 573.75
MEM : 688.50
Final Score =10448.35

O/C 5%:
GPU : 600.75
MEM : 722.25
Final Score =10780.71

Comparison of Benchmark Results (5%):



Pappy: This is the same card that you ordered so you know that I did not steer you wrong!

What is everyone else getting for benchmark results on your card? Come on, bring it!

I had to re-install the Official "Bloatware" ATI drivers. All my games were crashing. No, it had nothing to do w/ the O/C settings. I am still O/C at the above values, running the ATI drivers and no crashing.

Since there are crickets in here, I am just going to keep replying to my own thread.

Anyway, to give you an idea just how bad the ATI drivers are, I O/C'ed my Video Card to 10% above stock speeds and ran the benchmark again. This is what I got:

Device ATI Radeon Graphics Processor AGP (0x7280)
GPU : 627.75
MEM : 756.00
Final Score =6498.85

That is quite a dissapointing drop from using the OmegaDrivers and then going back to the Official ATI drivers.

Damn shame that the OmegaDrivers won't work correctly on my system.

I lost 42861.86 points by using the Official ATI Drivers. So, either OmegaDrivers are cheating a lot in the benchmark or, the ATI drivers really are THAT bad.

I don't know?

At least so far, 10% above normal clock speeds and the card is holding up well.

See Pappy, I didn't steer you wrong

Have you tryed to use a older driver from Omega?...

That has worked for me before
