Well I just wanted to let you guys know how much of a performance jump there is when overclocking your videocards. I used the stress test found in the main menu of CS:Source.

System Specs:
AMD 64 3500+ (IHS REMOVED) @ 2700 mhz - 270x10
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum with bios 1.3b6
OCZ Dual Channel 512*2 Platinum Enhanced Latency Rev 2.0 @ 270mhz 2.5-3-3-6-1t 1:1
OCZ Ram Booster - Custom Cooled / Heatsinked
Sapphire x800Pro ViVo GC16 1.6ns Memory
OCZ PowerStream 520 Watt Adjustable Rail PSU

CS:Source Setup

Everything set as high as it can go in advanced menu
Water set to reflect all
Resolution 1280x768 32bit color
6x Anti-Ailiasing
16x Anisotropic Filtering

Video Card Clocks and Results:

All tests ran on Omega 8.07 beta drivers

GPU: 475
MEM: 450
CS:Source Stress Test FPS: 111.1

GPU:600
MEM: 575
CS:Source Stress Test FPS: 127.9

Quite a big difference, I can't wait to get my new monitor so I can play 1980x1200

I have played at 1980x1200, and the writing is tiny, but the game looks literally amazing I even took some screenshots while playing at that res, but they are about 7mb each lol

the screenies are probably in BMP. take like ifranview or something and save them to jpeg at like 90% or even a 100% and they will be under 1MB i would bet.
