Question Overclocking Utility For Video Card

I've just installed my 9800 pro, and i need to know which is the best overclocking utility and where to get it. This is the first ati card i've ever owned so i'm unfamiliar with the overclocking utilities avilable for ati cards. I've always had nvidia cards prior to this. Also i must say, this card is flat out the best i've ever had and the best available.

Since you have an ATI card I would recomend this. It's what I use and it's great.

why do you say its too new? yes it was expensive but it performs awesome, as for the drivers how are they new, it uses the catalyst drivers

The card is great and the drivers work just fine... no problems at all. Just another misguided person in denial that ATI finally got their drivers to work well.

I beg to differ, the best utility for a 9800 is Rage3D Tweaker. It fully supports the 9800. Link is here:

No, you are all wrong just kidding...
The best overclocking utility in my opinion is RadClocker
Using that utility, HardOCP got a 9600 Pro to 567MHz Core-715MHz Memory!!

Doesn't the 9800 have it's own overclocking utility? Kind of like the Coolbits hack?

I downloaded rage 3d, will have to wait to see what kind of speeds i can go, got the gpu up to 420 mhz, but the ram is runnin very hot, so i put everything back to default until i get some bga ram sinks (ordering them at the moment). As far as the gpu goes, the back side of was surprisingly cool to the touch at 420 mhz, gotta love the dd maze3
