I was wondering if anyone knows of a good program for overclocking your video card in vista? I use ATI Tools from omega drivers for XP, but I don't think they have it for vista. My card is an X1550, but Vista see's it as "X1300 Series".

I looked, my board doesn't have overclocking for the video card, just the CPU.

Does windows recognise the card correctly with the Catalyst drivers from ATI.

Download a new BIOS. I've never done this, you'll have to ask someone else how, but that might make this a little easier.

Unless its onboard video the bios doesn't controll the video card accept for the PCI or AGP interface.
