Hello,

I've been trying to figure out how to get to a higher overclock than 840 for my video card but have so far been unsuccessful.

First, I load a root terminal and enter "aticonfig --od-enable".  Then, I load AMDOverdriveCtrl and make some modifications to the best levels allowable on the software.  I then save the profile and then open the profile with leafpad.  I modify the profile to have suitable clock settings for the GPU and save it.  When I open another root terminal and attempt to load the profile 'AMDOverdriveCtrl -i (insert number of a gpu here) -a (insert chosen profile name here).ovdr' I get an error.  "Overdrive Error Could not apply overdrive settings."  I have the powertune settings at 20%.

Basically, I don't seem to be able to go above the allowable defaults.  I've done plenty of reading and finding this "aticonfig --od-enable" excited me, thinking that was the solution to my problem.  I thought I was so clever when I modified the profile with leafpad, haha.
