Once you enter the BIOS on a gigabyte board, press Ctrl+F1 to see more options in the various locations of the BIOS, particularly the overclocking section.

Typcially the core clock will OC much higher than the memory clock. Just like OCing the CPU, do it in small increments and test.

Also, some companies won't void your warranty for overclocking. Two that are on the top of my head are EVGA and XFX.

ATI does have overclocking support built into the catalyst control center (CCC).ATI has no overclocking support built into their drivers, so you will need a third-party application. ATITool is a third-party application that can overclock both ATI and NVIDIA cards. In my opinion, RivaTuner is the best utility for overclocking your GPU.

ATI tool and Riva tuner are the best overclocking tools IMO. If you have an ATI card, just use the program provided, unless you want to exceed the specified clock rates in that program. Then you're going to need to look towards 3rd party support.

Thanks for the info James. I've never had an ATI card, so I was just basing this off of an article I found on the internet.
[quote name='http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleid=1803&page=8']Unlike its arch rival nVidia, ATI does not include any sort of overclocking ability in its drivers, concealed or not. This means that is necessary to use a third-party utility to overclock the company's cards.[/quote]

I also agree with ATITool and RivaTuner being the best for OCing the GPU. The only reasons I recommended RivaTuner over ATITool is that ATITool doesn't support all video cards, especially more recent ones (like my G92 8800GTS, for instance), and RivaTuner allows you to save your OC and have it automatically implemented on startup. I still use ATITool for its artifact scanning feature, though. It's a great way to check for GPU overclock stability. Also, if ATITool supports your GPU, its auto-overclock feature is pretty nifty too.

Which is why I recommend using both.I still use ATITool for its artifact scanning feature, though.

XFX have an overclocker-friendly warranty.
