Overclocking the Radeon 8500LE....?

[markjs]

Whats a good unobtrusive program to overclock my Radeon 8500LE with, and what speed is the non LE Radeon 8500 at?

I used powerstrip, I don't know if there is better out there but that one worked for me on my Radeon 8500 retail.

I modified and reflashed my original BIOS. That way the changes are recognized at a hardware level.

check out the Rage3D tweak. It has great additional options for the card, plus overclocking...

The original 8500 non-le was 275/275, but later ones were as low as 250/250. The early 8500LE were 250/250, but current ones can be at low as 166/183! Realistically, most decent ones are in the 200-250 range on both core and mem clocks. 128MB versions are typically clocked lower than 64MB (e.g. Sapphire 9100s, which are re-labelled 85000LE, are 250/230 for 64MB and 250/200 for 128MB). Retail ATI 8500LE 64MB are currently 230/230.

When you install any of the o/c tools (like Rage3D tweak which I also use), it will tell you what you current clock speeds are.
