ATITool 0.25 beta 14/15 are 'beta' versions... so expect problems basically.

btw, the clocks might be resetting when you open a game because of VPU Recover. If the card is clocked too high, then that might be the case. 725mhz core is one hell of an overclock. Most people can't even get that stable on watercooling, so it's likely to be unstable. The beta versions of atitool don't always pick up on artifacts, and it will go 'too far'. Unfortunatly 0.24 doesn't work for x1000 series :(

Trust me when i say: W1zzard's working on it... Very hard. :)

Try setting the clocks manually at 625/800 and run some benchmarks, if it's stable, set them a little higher until problems start re-appearing. Then you can find the 'stable' overclock ;)

725/823 is still nothing for me. :laugh: .

if you use beta 14 don't use higher than 6.3 cats and if you use 15 beta the oc is limited and isn't very stable and doesn't work for Crossfire... also try opening TPUBench before you open ATITool...

hay sniper what voltages on your xtx are you using? I got my card to 770/895 stable with a DD Tyee waterblock, just wondering If yours are any different to mine

Edit: hey i have a sapphire card and TT armor case too :P
