I just got this card, and I'm busy with overclocking it.

The results are 700/1175 because ATi OverDrive can't go further that 700 on the core and I'm getting artifacts when I raise my memory. The fan is set at 50% and max temp after 2 hours of gaming is about 65 degrees. Now I'm a novice when it comes to overclocking so is ther anything I can do to raise the cards clock even more?

I'm downloading 3dMark06 now to benchmark it so screens will appear in a while.

You should be pretty happy at 700.. If you think it's got some more in it, download RivaTuner, it will let you go as high as you want.

you should check on voltmods. What you have there is a free upgrade to a 4850 OC.

Your 920 is only at 3ghz? Come on man get that thing to 3.6ghz or higher :p Other than that, looks ok! I get 18k with a 4850X2 and X3 @ 3.6ghz so.

I haven't really started overclocking my 920 yet :p I just wanted it running on 940 speeds for at the moment. And I'm getting a Core-Contact Freezer soon when it arrives I'm gonna really start overclocking.
