Tweaking my ATi...

[psikoticsilver]

Now I've only had this x1900XT 512 for a little over a month now. I'm getting very eager to tweak it; I've already put 35mhz on the core and memory, and that's good enough for me now, but I do, however, really want some software tweaks.

I'm getting 20-60 FPS in NWN2 without shadows and this is disturbing. So I went to download the latest Catalyst drivers (6.10) without the CCC. I already had ATiTool and TrayTools, so I'm very eager to get this going. I've been reading this guide on ATi drivers by TweakGuides.com, and I was wondering if you could give me some of your own experiances with this.

- The guide mentions being able to disable the ATI Smart service... I like freeing up memory as I only have 1gig (my poor machine)... anyone have experiance with this?

- Also, what experiances have you had tweaking the Advanced settings in dAAmit Tray Tools?

I'm very intersted in some hardcore tweaking (posibly even INI modding), so if you have any additional tidbits, low level tweaks or just really wicked sh*t you've tried, let me know.

I appreciate all the support you guys can give!

*edit* I accidentally posted this in the main forum--mods, can you move it to the ATi section?

I am not that skilled with overclocking a graphics card, but I do have the same graphics card, although a program came with my BIOS where I can overclock it in the uGuru manger. I was wondering if you had any problems with it doing really good (high fps) and then after like 5 seconds get to like a really low fps.
Any help appreciated!

Does anyone know what the optimal voltage for the X1900GT is?

I appreciate the overclocking guide, but I already do know how to overclock.

I'm looking for stuff more along the lines of driver-level tweaks, registry or INI modding... etc.
