Overclock 9700pro, worth it, BF1942 gains?

[BoomerX01]

I have a powercooler ATI 9700pro, 128mb. I wondering if I should overclock it a bit, to say 9800 specs....

If so, I assume I use rivatuner? Anything else simple like coolbits for nvidia?

What kind of real world performance would I see in say BF1942, currently running at 1024x768 with 4/16 AA/AF, over 80fps.....so I very satisfied.

Worth it to overclock?

give it a try. I usually don't overclock for Bf, my 9700pro and 9800 pro smacks it around at stock.

Performance in BF with a 9700 pro is just sky high anyway. If you did anything for BF, I'd go to a GB of RAM.

Unless you are planning on volt-modding or other clearly warranty voiding procedures the benefit from OC'in the 9700 is marginal at best. (and even then I think it's not much beyond marginal)
