X1800XT with ATI tool problem..

[solideliquid]

I'm having a problem with my X1800XT, please help.

When I OC my X1800XT with ATI tool I get almost no improved performance than when I play something and only use the CCC @ 625/750 (stock).

I don't get it, and when I run 3dMark06 I get a 200 point difference. What gives? What does 200 points get you in real time game playing anyway?

The games I'm currently playing are: MS Flight Sim X demo, Oblivion, CS:S, Dark Messiah Demo, and Call of Jaurez Demo. All pretty graphics heavy games, and all good.

When I OC my card with ATI tool here are the settings: 685/792, 1.395V, 2.162V, and 2.135V
am I doing something wrong please help.

Thanks in advance!

those clocks will give u a very small boost in games.

the scores in benchmarks have very little gaming impact. at most u will see maby 5fps more in css and maby 1 more in oblivion.

I had an x1800xt, with dual screen you can watch the speeds in game, but atitool reports like 500/600 which is what the clock is until you go into a 3d app, then it will jump up to the stock speed of 625/750 unless otherwise specified in the ccc. When ever i oc'd with atitool it seems like ccc was overriding atitool. As for results, in bumping my x1900xt to 680/760 it adds 10-30 fps depending on the game, probably more for lower resolutions.
