There is a tutorial on how to do it with Rivatuner here: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/ove ... 916-3.html

Word of advice, however.  If you don't know anything about overclocking, and if in all the games you play you can achieve a fair bit of performance (say 25-30+ fps), I wouldn't try overclocking anything.  Now, I am no expert in regards to overclocking GPUs, but I -do- know that overclocking can potentially and permanently damage your card if you do it wrong (I am not sure if you know this, but I am bringing this up just in case).  According to the site mentioned above, you can squeeze a bit of power from your card.  Just be careful alright?

like the others said, unless you know what you are doing don't do it
Although if you have a later ATI card, like the 4830 it has a "user friendly" over clocking thing like this

^ what they said. Overclocking can potentially damage or even kill hardware and if they find out you have been overclocking then it will not be covered by the warranty. Make sure to read this whole post first before you do anything.


1.Install Rivatuner.

2. Using Rivatuner find the overclocking tab, increase the Core clock speed by 10mhz. Make sure shader and core domains are linked and that "apply overclock settings at startup" is NOT checked (you can enable this later).

MSI Afterburner is a great overclocking application. Its based off of Rivatuner (made by the same person) and offers a simple interface for raising GPU voltage, GPU clock, memory clock, and custom fan profiles and fan adjustments. Something to check out. And you DON'T need a MSI card for it either.
