The GT, SC, KO and SSC cards are all identicle. The SSC just has the highest factory clocks. As far as I know they all can reach roughly the same overclocks.

Get one of the higher end ones if you don't like to mess around with overclocking or if you don't want to use an additional application to maintain the overclock.

I edited the GT bios and increased the voltage on all tables to 1.1volts. I couldn't go above 730/1700 on the core and shader before the bios voltage mod. I didn't realize the voltage effected the shader as well?

nytevizion, thanks for your information. Good find on the voltage mod. I will add you into the list tomorrow morning.

So will I lose my money on trade in? I have a $400 GTS so can I get 2 $200 cards or like 1 card and a motherboard?

I think I am gonna do the mod......its a simple one at that

I didn't notice a big change in temps. Idle around 48, Load 78... Thats with the fan at %100 and the side of the case off... Not much different than stock volts. These definately need better coolers.

Don't do what I did. I removed the 3 of the 4 voltage tables with nibitor in order to have just 1 table with 1.1 volts. Well, the video drivers blue screened after about 45 seconds in windows XP every time. I repaired that, and set all 4 voltage tables to 1.1 volts. Worked fine. Remember to back up your bios!

I wonder what 1.2volts would do? Allthough you can go in smaller increments which is nice.

LOL, not trying it.

Yep I just got done.....increased to a SSC and upped the voltage from 1.05 to 1.1. Lets see the OCing madness!
