Then what conclusions should I draw from Furmark freezing the screen at the 719/991 setting but the card runs cool, with no screen corruption, during and after many hours of game play (FSX)?

So, at the 719/1000 settings FSX, SolidWorks, run fine. No screen corruption and temps were good. But Furmark did freeze the screen-had to hardboot. Here's my question. Can I run at these settings, and maybe even a little higher, or will this somehow damage the card? Or should I not because...

Thanks for the reply. Found the temps in Rivatuner. So, I'm using Rivatuner to change clocks, and ATITool to check for stability. I don't have fan control (there's only 2 leads going to the fan). Am I correct in thinking then that the fan override in Riva will not work. If it willl work...

I thought AMD Overdrive was for motherboard chipsets. It’s not made to work with my motherboard. I’m not using CCC because it tops out at 650/1000 and I have no fan control anyways (only 2 leads going to fan). I’m at 719/1000 right now and planning on pushing it farther. It seems like my...

Can you guys please help me out with this? I’m new to overclocking. I ran ATI Autotune and it came up with 640/990 for core and mem clocks, respectively. I tried using ATITool for OC'n a 4830, but clock speeds don't show above sliders. I run "Find Max Core" for over an hour and no clock...

I'm trying to use ATITool for OC'n a 4830, but clock speeds don't show above sliders. I run "Find Max Core" for over an hour and no clock speed is ever shown. I'm I doing something wrong or is it just not compatible with my card? So should I use Rivatuner to change clocks, ATITool to check...

I'm also installing a new card (ATI 4830-upgrade from integrated X1250) in a few days. Isn't it a good idea to use Driver Sweeper to get rid of any residual stuff from the old card? Then, what about deleting that "ATI" folder off the C drive before installing the new card and it's drivers?

Ordered the 4830-Thanks Guys Thanks newtekie1 and spearman914 for the good find on the 4830!!!!-killer deal. Also bought the 750W PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341011 I was wondering about the backwards compatibility (the card being PCI-E 2.0) I'm not...

ORDERED--HAVE QUESTIONS--GPU Recommendation PLEASE I'm not wanting to buy a top end card, just something to "balance" out my system. I think if I had a decent card I would be very satisfied with FSX performance. This system actually seems to do ok compared to other's results that I've read...
