Hey all,

I'm pretty new at this, so take it easy on me :) Any help at all is appreciated.

I recently put together a new system with an x800 GT02 (256MB DDR3, flashed to 16 pixel pipelines, Arctic Cooler after-market cooling) and I'm working on overclocking the card. I just have a couple of questions...

1) I tried using ATiTool to calculate my overclocks, and I got some decent numbers (Core at 580, mem at around 600) but when I tell it to scan for artifacts, it scans for awhile and then randomly starts over. I heard I should scan for artifacts for half an hour to an hour, but I can't if it keeps restarting itself... is ATiTool buggy, or am I a moron?
2) IS 30min - 1 hour enough time to scan for artifacts before you know you have a stable overclock?

Any and all help is appreciated. I switched to ATi Tray Tools, but if I'm just using ATiTool wrong then I'd totally go back to it. Also, if anyone has this card and could tell me what they're getting out of it, overclockwise, that'd help a bunch too. Take it easy.
 
I have that same card as well.I use Ati tray tools also with a aftermarket cooling solution(zalman).I currently have mine overlcocked to 576(core) and 640(memory) with no problems.Maybe you could try reinstalling Ati tray tools or instead of trying to scan for artifacts,maybe fire up CSS or WOW for about an hour.If, no crashing or artifacts occur,then I'd say
you have a pretty stable overclock.

I hope this helps...good luck.
 
Awesome, sounds good. I'm actually getting FarCry in today, so I'll put it through its paces with that and see how it does. Thanks for the help. Anyone else that has results on this subject, I'd love to hear them. Thanks all.
 
I have the same card - but mine's a bum - best I can do is 519 core/560 mem

Now that I put it into a shuttle, best I can do is 500/500
 
but I can't if it keeps restarting itself... is ATiTool buggy, or am I a moron?

It "restarts" itself at first sight of artifacts. Sounds like you dont have a stable enough card for overclocking or opening those extra pipes.
