9800 Clock speeds Question
I bought a dim 8300, with an ATI 9800 Pro 128mb. I was looking to overclock, so I downloaded ATITool. It told me that the core clock was 378, and the memory clock was 338. I was looking online, and the specs of a store bought ATI 9800 Pro 128mb is core 380, memory 680. The video card itself looks different than a standard ATI card. Why is my memory clock so low??

The 9800 uses DDR or Double Data Rate memory meaning you multiply it by 2. 338 x 2=676.. Timings aren't always accurate but they are close enough...Message Edited by Miguel044 on 07-16-2005 06:06 PM
