need ya help here guys, i'm using a built by ati radeon 9800pro with vivo function. i'm having some problem on overclocking, by using atitool to check for artifact the core at stock speed 378MHz already got minor artifact but for the ram speed i was able to bump up to 360Mhz without artifact. anything higher than 378/360Mhz will cause serious artifact. now the strange thing is by using 3dmark2001se, even whn i clock my memory speed up to 400Mhz there seems to be no artifact at all... so the question is which one should i follow? i seeing a lot of people able to overclock their core speed to 390~420MHz and the ram speed about 360~390Mhz, can my bba r9800pro do it? anyone having the same experience can give me some guide? thanks a lot

p/s: Atitool is a bit sensitive on detecting the artifacts. Even if u dont see them, the software can detect it. So the best way is to use 3dmark03 to see wether there's artifact or not. My 0.02 cents.

yeah i also noticed in 3d mark i do not notice any artifact at all when i hit 400Mhz on the memory. so you're saying i should forget about atitool despite it detected a lot of artifacts? will it actually damage my card in long run? one more thing when i o/c using atitool above 385/365 for core/ram and run scan artifact, the whole system freeze!!!can i really don't have to care about the atitool at all? thanks a lot
