I thought for a joke I would try the New 7.12 driver and use the overdrive to see just how far I left it in the dust......Guess what it benched 5 (only 5) marks higher...what the hell!!!!

Conclusion: Some how they are modding drivers without doing all the stuff like voltages and so on. There seems to be much more benefit to customizing the drivers than the bios period....hard to believe and I wouldn't have untill now.

So flash your PRO to XT and use ATI Overdrive for a simple but effective O/C

Totaly blew me away!!!
7.12 drivers dont work with my modded bios' and ati overdrive only lets me clock mem to 900

7.11 modded bios blew away my 7.12 stock bios with overdrive by like 1000 pts
