hey guys, i'm pretty new to all this stuff....
i bought a 128mb sapphire 9800pro recently, and decided i'd have a look at ati tool... It's got standard cooling at the moment, soon to be replaced with a arctic cooling vga silencer.
anyway, i looked at the ati site, and they claim the specs of the card to be as follows:
Engine Clock (MHz) 380
Memory Clock (MHz) 680
however, when i start up ati tool, i have these values:
core: 378
memory: 337.5
now i know the core is only 2mhz out, which is not my issue, the memory seems to be waaaaay off base.... why would this be? i tried overclockign it, and it only gets to about 372 or so before ati tool starts detecting errors.
am i just being stupid (don't be afraid to say it, like i said i'm new to all this) or have i got a problem?
cheers
