Here... in ATI tool, set all clocks to default, them press the little button that says "find max core" - let it run and it should start finding artifacts at some speed. Make note of the speed. Set the clocks back to default and do the same to the memory. Make note of that.

Set your clocks to something slightly below the max mem/core found and run ATITool witht he 3D view open. Monitor the temperature. If it climbs above 68c, back off on your core clock and try again.

If you have the R430 core you will be lucky to get 450 out of the core and depending on your memory roughly around 550-560.

nice overclock... the highest I was able to achieve was 457 / 564.

What difference would you notice? Basically faster FPS during gameplay. Just don't over do it and heat the card up. Keep an eye on your temps.
