    How high should i overclock to?

    I've never ovelrclocked before so I want to know how high I can overclock my ATI Radeon 9250 and if it does any difference.

    It all depends on what your card can take before you start seeing artifacts. Try to increase clocks gradually until you start to see artifacts while playing.

    Overclocking is going to increase the temp of your card so just be prepared and don't be surprised if you fry it.

      this is one of those questions where if you have to ask you probably shouldnt be doing it...do some more research on overclocking and then overclock you video card after you understand it. dont just ask how high your card should be overclocked and then do whatever the person tells you; every card is different and so is eveyones case temp, and cooling situation. i would highly recommend doing some research so that you know what you are doing before you just do it. Otherwise you may end up ruining your video card, even though its cheap to replace (which is a good thing if you do end up ruining it). at least if you do ruin it you can get a brand new one for $30 on newegg.

          yea $29 after a rebate.

          oh and just to clarify in my post above, im not saying dont overclock or your not smart enough to overclock (or anything else mean like that), just do so more research so you know what you are doing and how to do it. Because for one it would be a shame to ruin your video card, and besides that your card could be one that could go even faster than whatever someone tells you. you might as well get what you can out of your card :)
