There doesn't seem to be enough talk about video overclocks here so i figured I would make a thread to get the ball rolling.

In this thread tell us about your core/mem what mods you've done what bios flashes, etc.

My information.

I bought a connect3d radeon 9700 non pro back in february. Came with hynix 3.3ns memory. I waited until now to overclock it because my last case had terrible airflow.

Anyways I have my np running at 337/326. I'm using rage3d. I flashed my bios to 8004 pro bios so the card now recognizes as a radeon 9700 pro. I'm looking to upgrade the heatsink and hsf from the stock pos. Any recommendations? My 3dmark2k3 score is 4886 now

Core=250
Mem=275

flashed the bios to 300/300, runs great and adds a nice performance boost

Right now, I've got an Asus V8440 GeForce 4 Ti4400, running @ 340 Core / 765 Memory.

Review @ Digit-Life.com

The only modification I made to the card was installing a 1U rackmount server heatsink & fan to cool the GPU and copper ramsinks on the Samsung 2.8ns VRAM (it should have come with Samsung 3.3ns VRAM).
