If you don't install your drivers and updates in the right order, Windows will wig out. Your Radlinker problems are a symptom of this. Try uninstalling your Omega drivers and install files, rebooting, then reinstalling them again. If that doesn't fix it, drop us a line and we'll troubleshoot further.FishyWishy said:
I use Radlinker, because it lets me have more control over the overlock than any other overclocking software. It's also very closely integrated with the drivers, so it seems very natural. Plus Omega Drivers come with artifact testing tools. If you're scared about overclocking, don't overclock. You only gain a small margin of performance anyway, except with very few types of cards. On the other hand, it's not hard nor dangerous if you take in slow incraments. If you jump it up 300MHz, you'll only be kidding yourself anyway. Try overclocking in 4MHz steps, and test for artifacts between every increase. The moment you start getting artifacts, clock it down 4MHz. Then run a 3D app for a long while to prove that the overclock is stable. If you follow that method, you shouldn't have any problems.FishyWishy said:
If you care about 3DMark scores, *DO NOT* USE OMEGA DRIVERS. They're optimized for gaming, so you'll get better visuals and FPS in games. Synthetic benchmarks however perform poorly. IMHO, synthetic benchmarks are just to show a general idea of what games will perform like with your hardware anyway. Since you already own the hardware, might as well get the most out of it and forgo the benchmarks.FishyWishy said:
