Noob!!! Need Help Overclocking

help

i just replaced my gforce 4 64mb to a ati 9800 pro. Now with my gforce i got on average 150 fps in mohaa. With my ati i get a higher average around 250 but it goes up and down from 400-50. i lower my res. and it doest seem to help at all. If any of u guys have ideas that would be cool ty :confused: :confused: :confused:
 
I dont get it m<c>g, whats your problem? Your cards fps are good and they will go up and down. I'm sure if you lower res + details your fps will go up but if you're getting higher than 50fps personally, I'd turn up my detail ;) :cool:

@Hero: Download a program called "Fraps".

Use V-synch. thats all there is to it
It baffles me why people figure getting 200+FPS in games think its cool. Your Monitor can MAYBE do 160Hz at high res the rest of those FPS are wasted. Sure it LOOKS cool but is a total WASTE of power. I play most games in 1024x768 or sometimes 1280x1024 at 10/7@100 12/10@85 so more than enough for my 9800@XT.
MAX REFRESH RATE=MAX FRAMERATE remember this people! ;) the rest just looks good in an FPS counter
 
The only thing is with my 64mb gforce 4 i was getting good fps and it was stable. Then i get a pretty good vid card and my fps are jumping all around when it goes down to 50 it lags me up alil. Thats all i just bought some new fans and memsinks so ill see how they work when i get em. INstg8r i will try the v-synch ty guys for the reply
 
Almost all the people havent enter their system info :S
