    is this considered a good overclock for this particular mobile gpu? i did the auto tune in CCC and these are the values it came up with.

    Hope you have a good cooler :eek:
    Ever since I flashed my vBios, I've been unable to overclock with Overdrive by any amount... The screen just goes black and I have to shut it down. HALP
    This is the 5870 btw.

    the 5870m is a great card at stocks. but from what i've read about them, they do run real, real hot and dont overclock too well. as far as my 5850m, i guess i got a bit lucky. sure it too gets hot, but hasnt got too high where it crashes or screen turns black. but a few months of these overclocks, i am sure i will get these things. :eek:

    That's a monster overclock man, check your temps often.

    thanks. yeah, the temps worry me a bit in terms of long term use. but the performance is so good with these overclocks that i am willing to deal with the risk. i use an antec cooling fan, so that might also explain why i am able to reach these clocks.
