Overclocking can be harmful to your PC/Computer. Although initial and catastrophic failure is rare, the excess heat and/or increased voltage can reduce the lifespan of components.

Before you overclock using ATITool, adjusting some settings can help you attain a more stable overclock.

First, turn off Temporal Anti-Aliasing if you have this turned on (when ATITool is opened it will notify you if Temporal Anti-Aliasing is enabled). This can be found by going to the display control panel, click on the settings tab, then the advanced button, and go to the 3D tab. With the Direct3D radio button selected and the Use Custom Settings check box checked, uncheck “Application Preference” and then “Temporal Anti-Aliasing” in the Anti-Aliasing section. On ATI cards this setting may also be accessed through Catalyst.

If ATITool is going to be running unattended (this is not recommended), you may want to set ATITool to quit scanning once it has reached a stable clock. This can be done by clicking on the settings button in ATITool, selecting “Artifact Scanning” in the drop down box, checking the “Stop scanning for maximum clock,” and then typing in a number of seconds in the box below. Setting this to a larger value gives a higher probability that the clock speeds that ATITool eventually sets your card to will be stable.

Sometimes the new version of artifact scanning provides many artifacts at even the original speed. If this occurs switch to the older method in the settings.

Your GPU (also called VPU) core is the “engine” that processes information into a presentable format that is displayed on your monitor. The faster its clock runs, the faster it works, and consequently you gain performance.

First, click on “Find Max core”. ATITool then begins scanning for artifacts, which are signs that your GPU may be running too hot or too fast. It slowly increases the frequency of your GPU while checking for errors, with occasional heat up phases to make sure that your card is being stressed as much as possible so that any possible errors show up. Eventually ATITool will detect an artifact or two, and stop increasing the core speed. It will then lower the clock a few MHz(1MHz = One million cycles per second) every time a new artifact is detected, getting closer to the final frequency that it decides is the highest stable frequency. These small decreases at the end are to make sure that the the final frequency that it settles on has no artifacts.

Your video memory is used to store information about the 3D scenes that your GPU is rendering, such as textures, and also affects your computer’s performance in applications that use 3D graphics. Overclocking it can sometimes have a greater effect on performance.

Overclocking your video memory is just as easy as overclocking your GPU core, but is slightly more complicated. If your core is overclocked while searching for the maximum memory overclock there is the chance that the overclocked core creates an artifact, the artifact scanner detects this - it is impossible to know whether core or mem generated it. Since “Find Max Mem” is running it will decrease the memory clock. To avoid this problem decrease your core clock by a good amount (10-20 Mhz) before starting Find Max Mem. ATITool will give you a warning when you try to overclock your memory while your core is set to a higher clock than its default. This is normal. To overclock your video memory, click on the “Find Max Mem” button. It will follow the same procedures as overclocking the GPU core, eventually settling on a certain memory clock.

You can save your overclocked settings as a “profile” that can be loaded at future times. To do this, create a new profile by clicking on the “New” button at the top of the ATITool window under profiles. This will save your current GPU core clock and video ram clock settings as this new profile. If you wish to change the settings of a certain profile, you can click “Save” to save those settings to the profile selected in the drop down box. Clicking “Load” will load settings from a profile and set your clocks to the frequencies saved in that profile.

ATITool is capable of detecting when you launch an application that uses the 3D capabilities of your video card, and can load different profiles when entering and exiting 3D modes. To set which profiles are loaded in which mode, simply select them from the drop down box on the left side of the ATITool window. It is important to note that ATITool must be running to change profiles. Most people will find it most convenient to launch ATITool at system startup. This can be done by selecting the “load on Windows Startup” option found in the “Miscellaneous” section of the settings window.

1. Go to Settings → Miscellaneous under the drop down menu at the top of the settings page, and check the box for “Remove Radeon 9000/9200/9550/9600 clock lock”, if you have one of these cards.
2. There are 2 buttons, “Find max core” and “Find max memory”, let each run for 1 hour separately, and write down what it finds as the max speed for each after an hour.
3. Create a new profile, call it “OC”. Then set the speeds to what you wrote down. Then click save.
4. Go to Settings → 3D-Detection
   • Check the box for “3D-detection enabled”
   • Under “When 3d application is detected” select “OC” profile for “load profile”
   • Under “When 3d application is closed” select “default” profile for “load profile”
5. Go to “Startup” in the drop down menu on top of the settings window, and put a check in the top two boxes.
   • Next to the first check box (every time ATITool is launched, load profile), select “Default Profile”
   • Next to the second check box (load on Windows Startup via), select “Registry key”

Now ATITool will overclock your video card whenever you play a game or do something that requires 3d.
