4850 overclocking questions

[rontruong]

Hi guys,

So I just got this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150351&Tpk=4850 xfx, for 84.99 at best buy.

Anyways, I've read that you can do bios/xml voltage mod, but I've also read that ATI has released some driver updates to block this mod... I've also read that it works only certain 4850s...

So would this guide still work... http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/34

thanks!

You should try ATI tray Tools, its a great OC tool, no need to mess with bios.
Have fun and enjoy your 4850, I love mine. One more thing, keep that card cool. I use an aftermarket heatsink, its an accelero s1, nice chunk of metal.
