If your running the cat 3.4's you may not want to try these?

Im using them and really like the performance increase in my games.
Your right the soft mod I was refering to is a hack that lets you use an optimized driver path that was originally written for the 9800. But some say the Cat 3.4's did the same thing.
OOPS!
I posted the first part without reading your reply clearly, your non pro should overclock well, have you thought about soft modding it?
Again:

An ATI Partner Product is a graphics board that is based on an ATI chipset but manufactured by a company other than ATI. These other manufacturers, sometimes referred to as Original Design Manufacturers (ODM?s) or Add-in...
If nvidia thought so little about 3DMark, then why do all the work on drivers for it?

If it has the Infineon 3.3 RAM, its rated at 333MHZ, I have it on my PowerColor 9700 Pro and can only push my card to 360/325 without artifacts.
The 2.5 is rated at 400 MHz but I think its only on the sapphire, hercules and built by cards?
Have you tried the Omega/Plutoniums??
Omega ATI driver page
If your card is a "powered by ATI" the manufactuer of the card should have their own drivers, my PowerColor Radeon 8500 really has a problem with ATI support drivers. I had to use PowerColors, which perform really well :)
Is it a "built by ATI" or "powered by ATI"
I tried the catalyst drivers in my Powercolor Evil Master II Radeon 8500, boy did my video really go whacky!
I then found Powercolor has its own list of new drivers, put them in and all is well :)
I stay behind, I just got my Radeon 8500 275/275 for under a hundred bucks NEW!
I am not spending 300 or 400 bucks on a card that in six months will be half price or less, I do not have to have it today ;)
