Hi there, a 480mhz core for a f5900 xt is a good overclock, much higher and you will encounter heat issues without extra cooling..... Keeping it cool the 880mhz memory clock isnt bad depending on which manufacturer your card is produced by and of course your individual card, In my opinion using 3dmark 2005 to bench this card is not much cop, use 3dmark03 and this will give you a good idea of what to aim for, a score of 6000 and above for a 5900xt is good and 6500 or above is excellent. One word of advice....dont flash the bios on your card, updating it to the 5950u bios will probably allow a higher overclock but will loosen the memory timings on your card and the chances are you will see a performance loss rather than gain.

Doing a mod similar to the one I performed will reduce your temps but kills any resale value the card did have left before I started pulling bits off. Even if your stock cooling is not bad there is nothing like having 25cfm of air going over the heatsinks as opposed to the 7cfm the 40mm fan was blowing, lowering the temps on your gpu and ram will increase the overclocking potential of the card, however there is a point where the temps on mine just spiral upwards(around 490-500 gpu) and nothing short of watercooling or putting a full sized cpu heatsink on the core would help that as far as I can see. I found my memory(just standard ddr according to the manual) allowed me an extra 20mhz when cooled and I could sustain heavy load tests continuously at around 985mhz but I usually have it at around 970mhz as above 970mhz is generating a lot of heat and to be honest im happy with anything over 950mhz from memory on a card this cheap.
