Video Card overclocking

[Hinrichisgod]

I know this question has probably been asked and if no one feels like answering thats cool, but is there a guide to overclocking your video card - because i'm pretty much clueless on how to do it. BY looking at my system specs in my signature, could someone explain the first step and so forth and what would be a reasonable amount to overclock the 9600 Pro to? (I dont need it to be a fire hazard lol) Thanks.

You may want to check out powerstrip.

Get it at:

also try rage3d if you don't like powerstrip, whatever.. anyways you'll want to move push the clock and memory about 5-10mhz each at a time, run a benchmark and see how it looks, once you start getting artifacts figure out which one is too high, bring it down, etc.. then start to even them out, yea, peice of cake!

U can overclock by software or hardware.

Overclocking by hardware? What do you mean by this, I've never heard of such nonsense! =) If you mean something like modify the hardware as to let it run faster (through software) then I understand...
