*OFFICIAL* 8800GTX/GTS OC thread

And secondly, it seems a bit unfair to rank according to core clocks only. We should calculate the percentage of overclock from core and memory and take the average of those 2 percentages. But since some of us may have different stock speeds we can refer to the reference clocks, 500/1600 for GTS and 575/1800 for GTX, rounded to the hundredth place. Take my overclock for example:

Reference: 575/1800
Overclocked: 660/2590

Core: (660-575)/575 = 85/575 ≈ .14782608.... ≈ 14.78%
Memory: (2590-1800)/1800 = 790/1800 ≈ .43888888.... ≈ 43.89%

Average: (14.78+43.89)/2 = 58.67/2 = 29.335 ≈ 29.34%

And that this should be done by those who submit their overclocks, otherwise leave their rank blank, it only takes a minute anyway.

Air or water is good enough most people have there type of cooling in there spec's allready.
Sounds like to much figuring

What about ranking according to average percentage?

man my card sucks for OCing...highest I can get on the core is 630, anything after that and I get complete freezes. Intersting though Ive found that when I measure the GPU Core Volts it reads as 1.27 (1.3 is default) and when I game it dips down to 1.22...hmmm, anyone else have any Vcore measurements so I can compare.
Also: what are the best drivers that allow for higher OCs?

can someone please answer this, I am having freeze problems after a inconsistent amount of gaming time with the latest 158.22... and if I right click the NVIDIA settings icon in the taskbar my computer freezes again like that...

I just ran Driver Cleaner Pro and re-installed 158.22... I get to set a 634 without artifacts but I get artifacts as low as 1003 on the memory!!!!!
Could it be that when I took off the stock cooler and re-set it the white pads no longer have as good of a contact and the RAM is too hot?
