Hello Guys..

Im a newbie in this OC thing..
i just wondering about ocing a gpu...
whats more important? Gpu Clock? Memory clock? or Shader clock?
and are they related to each other-like they must be balance..?

Hope u dont mine sharing with me..coz i want to oc my gpu kaw kaw!!

FYI:
i use galaxy 9800gt 512mb low power version..

default clock is :
Gpu Clock - 550Mhz
Memory clock - 900Mhz
Shader clock - 1375Mhz

currently OCed to :

Gpu Clock - 600Mhz
Memory clock - 1000Mhz
Shader clock - 1600Mhz

and can u guys suggest me what the best software for checking stability of this Oced gpu.?
TQ

if im not mistaken..default gpu clock for 9800gt is 600MHz..taken from wikipedia..so i guess there is no problem with that but u may lose the power save..btw..im using gigabyte 9800gt oced version..gpu clock is 740MHz by default..

oh..almost forget..u can use prime95 to stress test the gpu..

so, u mean gpu is more important? rite?
prime95..?its a free software rite..?mind to share wth me..?

prime is for cpu.

u can use ati tool or furmark or just plain old 3dmark and loop it.

aa..tq..
and about 3dmark06..i try it after i oced my gpu..several oc setting..
somehow..i got this results...

for :-
Gpu Clock - 600Mhz
Memory clock - 1000Mhz
Shader clock - 1600Mhz

3dmark06 score - 10066.

for :-
Gpu Clock - 635Mhz
Memory clock - 1100Mhz
Shader clock - 1700Mhz

3dmark06 score - 10035.

why it turn out like tht..?it should increase la kan..? or it means tht setting not stable for my gpu..?

gpu is more important??u mean gpu clock..errrrr..i think yes..if the gpu is same batch(9800gt not same as 9800gtx)..need to take consideration bout how many cores in one gpu chip..

heh..i nvr tried prime95..lol
anyway..i once downloaded nvidia ntune and the software got function called stability test..nvr tried yet..

aa..yes.i mean gpu clock..oo..ok.so nvidia too hv tht kind of software ? ok..i try download it..

izzit the score is an average score?..need to do is several times to get a consistant result..btw..in my opinion..to get the most performance from the gpu..or from any oc activity..we need to test many aspect apart from these three..mybe the voltage also need to be taken into consideration..

oo.yeah..its an average score..
my proc is dual core e5200 only..
owh.?voltage ?i dont ever try yet increase voltage for gpu...so..should increase the voltage for pci-e rite..?
im using extreme tuner provided by galaxy..so far..i cant find any button to increasi voltage..

err..xjamin..i nvr tried bcoz afraid to fried my gpu..hoho

p/s:any sifu here?..i once read that we need to increase voltage if we oced the gpu clock over the limit when the instability occur..hurmm

woo hoo..ok2.
so..play safe play safe...


no OC sifu here r..??

wow..if i were you dont increase the PCIE voltage..depending on the mobo, the tweaking should be in bios..google ocing gpu/cpu if u still wanna..the 3dmark, u need to run several run per setting and get the most consistent mark to call'ta own..good luck..

ok..understood!! thanks

haha , 06mark no use one lah....use vantagedx10 better .....intro one software rivertuner , can OC , can adjust fan speed , can monitor temp of gc.....

vantagedx10 can download it for free onot?
yes..rivatuner...i forgot..i once use this software last years...

u can dl it for trial ver, but....u can search "crxxk" on google ~~i remeber ati tool , it have auto safe OC , means it auto OC until safe limit of ur gc...

OC by flash bios is the best...
last time OC by riva tuner make the powerplay not working..now i donno...

pros said ATIflash the best...but im a noob donno how to use that..so i use winflash..win-based flasher... kekekeke

before u flash use gpuz to back up ur bios , and find/learn how to flash back bios on Bios menu there...if not ur gc = rock ,some card have dual bios then that one no need scare

Bro..

vantagedx10 is free software or need serial key..?

just use rivatuner to oc,use atitool to scan artifact,use furmark to stress for stability.

after oc,use ati tool for 1-3 hours..no artifacts.if you still want to oc.just oc higher and scan for artifact..if ok d,use furmark for 3-6 hours..bear in mind.cooling is very important..happy ocing and dont oc one time 100 mhz.move little by little..
