Just a question on oc'ing, what increases your speed more? oc'ing the mem or the core? i have a 256mb bus at the moment (x850xt pe) if that makes a difference.
Thnx

Well with that card I believe your mem is already fast enough and the core would be better.
I beliekve you have GDDR3 mem which is fast. So the core defifnitly shoudl be priority. On mine I go for an inbetween.
 
dont expect much on the memory, that's why the speed is lower than the x800xtpe's....but the core should overclock nicely. but why? you have ati's top of the line card.
 
just wanted to see what would increase my speed more...the mem or core :)
 
This is off-topic, but why did you buy a SLI board and then buy a non-SLI video card ?
 
^^^^

Maybe he bought it so when the next gen of cards come out he'll be ready.
 
You dont really have much headroom left on your memory (at least not without volt-modding), its currently running stock at 590mhz and 625mhz is what the memory is spec'd at. So it seems to me that if your going to get a performance increase, its going to come from oc'ing the gpu.
 
i was going to get a 6800 ultra now then buy one later...but when i got my computer, one 6800 ultra costs about £400 in england, and a x850xt pe is a lot faster...so i decided id rather spend about £330 quid and get better performance...also my parents gave me the money to buy this comp and i didnt want them to pay too much..and yeh i can upgrade l8r too :)
