4850, huge performance increase with overclock

I had a huge increase by overclocking this thing, gpu clock 660 and memory clock 1050. I cranked the fans up to 65% and the temp stayed around 60 at all times, I think I gained up to 10fps in my games! Anyone else oc their 4850? I think I could take mine further, but I just dont need to yet. Anyone try any bios modding?

What game did you get the boost in FPS in? I have a stock Gigiabyte 4850 with Zalman cooler so I was thinking of overclocking it. How hot does it run?

Pretty much everything I own, I overclocked itwith only a stock cooler as well. Prototype, witcher, crysis, all saw huge boosts. I was getting 72 fps in the street fighter 4 benchmark, everything maxed and with 8xaa. I play all my games at 1680*1050.

I OC'd an HD4850 using an AC Accelero cooler to about the same speeds you're using - 40 degs idle, 45 under load. I'd definitely recommend getting an aftermarket cooler - the HD4800 cards run hot and loud, and they definitely remedy both problems very well, allowing you to overclock an already fantastic card. :)

good for you, i sometimes consemplate on ocing my 9800GTX+, its allready factory overclocked and the highest temps ive seen are 67oC, the only reason i havnt oced is becasue im too scared of frying my allready awlsome card, and with my CPU which is allrready kinda holding it back, i dont think it would make a difference for me.

I got my 4890 to 900MHz Core and 1GHz memory and got a 2FPS increase... Lucky you...
