I played with 9 different settings on my 9200 card. I used a benchmarking program called open GL extensions viewer. I made 5 passes over each setting to get an average. Here are the settings and the benchmarking results:
250 / 200 100% 250 / 210 101.35% 275 / 200 101.43% 275 / 210 102.85% 290 / 210 103.36% 290 / 215 103.58% 300 / 215 103.13% 300 / 210 103.12% 295 / 215 103.94% So as you can see, once the processor hit 300MHz, the average benchmarked speed (5 different tests) was slower than that at 290MHz. I then went to 295MHz and experienced the best score. So an 18% overclock on the processor and a 7.5% overclock on the memory resulted in the card testing 4% faster. I will look for other benchmarking utilities, but a 4% increase for free is acceptable by me. Im guessing that 300MHz just makes the processor run hotter and therefore less effectively. So, I assume better cooling could allow me to get to maybe 310MHz. Ive decided not to overclock the memory further, but that seems like it would be the only thing I could do right now for possibly a better test score. I will research into a voltage mod and cooling for the RAM as well. Well, I just may try 295 / 220. All thoughts and suggestions welcome.
