Has anyone found a stable and surefire way to overclock an X1950 Pro yet? I see a lot of threads floating around the web with everyone having the same problem. Whether using RivaTuner, WinClk, ATITool, or ATI Tray Tools, chaning the core or mem just slightly causes the screen to go completely blank. You can google "X1950 Pro overclocking blank screen" to pull up some of those threads on various forums. Anyone had any success with theirs?
 
It's just the fact that there's no headroom on the Pro.

If your question isn't answered by the middle of January, PM me and I will tell you the results when I get my Pro.

Not so, it's some kind of driver level issue. We are talking 5-15 MHz overclock on the core here, it should not cause the screen to go completely blank. Some people, including myself, cannot even raise the memory speed by 1 Mhz without the screen going blank. People with X1950 Pro's experience the same thing whether their card is stock speed or factory overclocked (like mine). Like I said, do the google search and you will see what I mean. There are numerous threads about it.

If you look at the latest release of ATI Tool (v0.26, Dec 06, 2006), which is probably the best known ATI overclocking software, it actually says "All NVIDIA and ATI cards except for Radeon X1950 Pro are supported in this release."
