    I had a look at a few sites but I'm not up to speed on overclocking and don't get how to do it..
    I have Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 GTO² 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) and it's supposed to overclock to an x850 or something..
    Anyone know if there's some software that does it or maybe an idiot's guid to???

    Thanks.

    For shame... the guide is written in plain English; just print it out & read it a couple of times; and follow the links.

    Of course, the other option is to overclock using ATi-tool* only (ie, without flashing BIOS to 16-pipes); I've heard of pretty extreme speeds achieved -- performance of 12-pipe would still be inferior to lower-clocked 16-pipe cards though.

    *ATi-tool pretty much is the idiot's software for over-/under-clocking; Google it

    I'm old:-)
    Have the ATI tool and have overclocked, can't remember of hand what speed I got but it looked good but I would like to open the extra 4 pipeline.... I'll look again and see if it makes any sense to me....
