"Hi, I have a Radeon 9000 Pro 128MB and I want to overclock it, but I'd like to know how much its going to help me. Am I going to see big differences after overclocking? How good is the heatsink on this graphics card?

Please explain.

Thanks"

Thanks Fuel Nice translation.....do you charge by the hour?

1. Overclocking a 9000 will not give you much of a performance boost...
2. You heatsink is ok for that particluar chip, but as i said overclocking will not help much IMHO

lol..I replaced the heatsink on my 9000 pro with an old pentium heatsink, and glued on the stock Athlon fan that came with my cpu.. (Couldnt get my old copper vantec CCK-6035D heatsink to fit without touching any caps) And I put some aluminum ramsinks on too. I run it now stable at 300 core / 300 mem (600DDR) Got around 200 extra marks in 3dmark2k3, and around 1000 in 3dmark2k1. Been awhile since I did this, so I dont remember my old scores.. Also, I weaked the drivers, and use the Omega version of the catalyst 3.2
