Does anyone have this program? It overclocks your video card in seconds. Quite cool. If you have it, let me know, because I have a few questions about it.

Also, how do I find out my video cards core clock speed and memory clock speed?

i have it to monitor my gfx card (temp/speed/fan/...). to overclock i prefer ATi Tool (best there is for Ati) or coolbits (at least in the good old geforce fx 5200 days). to see the standard clock speeds it is probabely to check the manufacturers website (or ati/nvidia providing the cards isnt factory overclocked)

Oh, well see, RivaTuner wont show me my speeds, so it wont tell me how far the limit is on my video card, and it has little caution signs on the video card and such, but i havent even done anything. i think i'll delete it and download ATI tool. if you can, PM and tell me how to use it.

do you have an ati gfx card? ati tool only works on them (kinda obvious but you never know)

i think so, an ati 9200 pro.

the default speeds are 200 for the core and 166 for memory, what should i set it to for best performance? i dont wanna mess up my card either.

as long as you dont increase the voltages too much nothing can really happen (except you having to reboot)

check your xfire

OCing a 9200 pro is like trying to fit performance parts in a daihatsu

Well this thread is called "RivaTuner" so I assumed he has an nVidia card. I looked (but missed) the post where he said he had a 9200 (will that even run the game?).

I only use RivaTuner to unlock pixel and vertex units, if I happen to run a card like the 6800LE which has some features locked.

I had good luck with this card, I could unlock every single unit so the performance should be close to the higher end 6800's

Ok...so i OC my 7600 GT to 580 Mhz Core Clock / 750 Mhz Memory Clock.....I guess my question is....is this healthy first of all and secondly, is it bad to always have the fan running....like will OCing and keeping the fan running constantly burn out the gfx card faster? If so i will just put it back to default settings....
