I OC'd my HD 3850 with a bios edit of the stock clocks via CRABE, but the clock values Everest (and GPU-Z) report slightly lower values than what I actually set in the bios.

I set 823/908, but Everest/GPU-Z reports 810/900. AMD OverDrive however reports values that are closer to what I actually used.

My question is, which one is correct?

I would say AMD Overdrive in this instance...AMD/ATI drivers, AMD/ATI software, I would assume it'd be the most accurate.

Everest and GPU-z are both constantly updated to maintain accuracy, but they can only get so close it seems in some instances. At least that's how I view it!

Hope that helps! :toast:
