hey i am using asus en8800gt 256mb (glaciator fan).
how far can i OC it? (mid-oc enuff)

my case temp around 42

recommended to use latest smartdoctor from asus... u can OC with that and i think that is the only software that can see ur GC temperature.

700core should be easy.Most 8800GT crap out@stock v@720core like that.Good one can hit 740 core but rare.

my gigabyte 8800gt can do 756mhz core @ 1.1vcore..
but the sp clockspeed is more important than core

hmm is it ok for 1700+ shader?
my smartdoctor just cannot monitor my gc temp with asus driver + gamerosd installed. tried 4 times already. gab up.
1 time 3dmark06 pass = stable?
can 3dmark test the stability of cpu too?

LMFAO
Gigabyte got gamers hud which let you control the voltage on the gpu....
its really great..oh my....I also want
btw , whats the stock vcore for 8800GT GPU ?

stock vcore 1.1v..
max vcore supported by the gamer hud is 1.2v..

I'm using Gigabyte P35-DS3 Rev. 1.0, juz support PCIE 16X v1.0..
Any performance penalty if using 8800GT?

uhm..how about your memory speed ?
saw your siggy only 19xx...

tell you la, 3dmark06 doesn't say anything about your stability.

i had the 8800GT OCed and it passed 3dmark06 no problem. yeah, bench it with FEAR and there it goes. hang.

thats true... ... it just bench performance only... and minorly scan for artifacts

Link core to shader mah.I can go ~71x without crashing 40min gaming and 3dmark@Stock volt .

wooh... got benchy screeny anot

too bad the software dont allow vram adjustment.. btw tho this card uses samsung gddr3 chips, i cannot oc my mem to 1000mhz, it'll fail atitool artifact scanning in minutes..

i oc the core and shader independently..
firstly i will find the max stable clockspeed for my core, shader, and memory using atitool artifact scanning for about an hour..
and after that i oc my core, shader and memory according to my highest clockspeed at the sametime and again run the artifact scanning for about 6 to hours, that's how i got my 756/1890/1944 oc setting..

i already posted a couple screenies in the 8800gt thread in the hardware subforum..

my zotac 8800gt amp is running at 60-61 C idle. Is that normal ? what shud i do ? change the GC cooler? if so, what cooler to use?

ur casing airflow shud be bad i think..... 60-61'c for zotac amp... even higher thanmy asus TOP which is the hottest card in 8800GT innovated fan market

set ur fan speed to 100% via rivatuner..
or improve ur cable management..
or improve ur casing airflow..
that should do the trick

my palit 8800gt idle temp is 52c load is about 62c....
anyone here using palit like me whats ur temp and how high have u oc ur card...

I'm using Zotac AMP Edition stock at 700/1700/2000.

Now I overclock it at 760/1900/2200 but in rivatuner hardware monitoring shows 756/1890/2202.

Idle 58c
Load 67c

Using stock bios.

So any sifu here got higher than this or this is the limit already?

so high??? try use ATItool to stress test and scan atifacts....
