Mine did 459/324 with stock cooling and 470/325 with a new cooler and some ramsinks.

If you see little black dots or random "artifacts" that shouldn't be there.
Download ATItool (Found in this forum) and have it check for your highest stable overclock for you. It works great. Just leave it running for a couple hours first finding max GPU overclock then finding max RAM overclock. It should find the maxs for you.
you can do some minimal to medium overclocking with the stock HS+F unit such as 420-460(to be safe) and 320-340 on the memory. but this may encourage you to upgrade your hs+f and get some ramsinks for your card. i got 537 on the core and 357 on the memory (714mhz DDR). needless to say, i got a huge performance jump from the stock speeds ( about 3500 3dmarks )

impossible!
the highest i've EVER gotten with my 9600 pro at 535/351 and cpu at 2.32ghz has been 14,132
The idea is to leave it going for a while so that you get a "Stable" overclock. If you just let it run till it fails once you really havent stressed your GPU and RAM that much. If you keep it running you will notice that as the GPU gets stressed and stressed the max overclock goes down a little untill it reaches a point where there are ZERO artifacts ever and you are overclocked.
I was really hoping to get my GPU to 500 stock when I got my 9600pro but it only goes up to about 460. My Vid-RAM is the real over-acheiver in my system. Max stable overclock on the RAM on my 9600pro is 375!!!! (Thas 750MHz DDR!)
I guess next is to upgrade the cooling... but, since that is how I messed up my ti4200 I am a little shy about doing that right now. heh, maybe when I have some desposable income.

I actually have the AIW 9800 Pro and i have the atitool running right now. I don't know how much it can be overclocked to. It's been on for like 3 hours and still no artifacts... I hope it finishes so I can play.
I heard that 9600 is the best for being flexible in overclocking. Still can the 9800 Pro have higher final result?
Also how did you mess up your ti4200? Cuz I'm thinking about upgrading my 9800 with a vantec iceberq 4.
My ti4200 had a blue orb (came that way stock) thermal epoxied onto it. The fan in the orb was dieing (the dreaded moaning sound). The only way I was told you can break the thermal epoxy bond is to freeze it for 30 minutes then pry gently with a very small flathead screwdriver and a creditcard to cover the electronics. I managed to get teh HSF popped off but the card never worked again. Dunno if it was the prying or the freezing.
