My little beast cooled by a CoolinkGFXChilla






you're right , I've tested myself this thing 1 month ago and I second that ; the main thing it's the bandwidht which it shouldn't be saturated due an high core clock . That's why overclocking 8800GT don't allow a valuable result, over 800 of core ; at the same time you will need more bandwidht and only a >1.0ns pair of ram will allow better results .

We'll see what will happen with these new GTX cards, especially at 850-900 of core and 1200+ of ram in opposition to GTS 512 at the same core-shaders frequency but 1100 of ram .

Btw , the more you go further with the core, the more you'll need to lower the ram ; I don't know why but it seems that it's like this . I should test more but I've benched at 1192 of ram with my GTS 512 (asus, the normal one) .

Nice going OP.

The same thing happened to me when I went for 845mhz core / 2110mhz shader... Lower score after an OC means the OC wasn't stable.

I've looked into WC, but holy crap that's expensive ><... I'll probably just buy either a GT200/RV770 when it comes out and upgrade my grandmas rig with my current 8800GTS .

Thanks for sharing your results! I doubt the GTXs will OC upwards of 900mhz core without a v-mod, but I guess I'll have to do some digging to find out for sure...

-EDIT-

added pic for another thread ><

Obviously WITH a Vmod .. 900MHz on the core it's a lot , too much to handle with a 4 phase power source and 1.15-1.2V on the Vcore .. They could improve it with the new 55nm version but I doubt that with 170+ SP we could reach such frequency , in total stability (Rock Solid, RS) .

Have a look here too : http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/3202...i-bench-4.html 9800GTX VS 8800GTS 512 both at the same frequency

I'd kind of like to know how the heck you guys are getting such monster clocks! In my sig, i can reach 752 core, 1916 shader, 1052 memory stable. Anything past that is a suicide run for me. That's WITH my fan at 100%...and I load almost on the dot at 55*C on my GPU. Hmmm, got me stumped, lol. Great job though...wish mine could clock that high.

EVGA 8800GTS ? I have a simple ASUS .. With default cooler at 100% It've been possible to bench at 800-2000-1166+(not more because of it's useless at such core clock) but it was like a raging tornado . Now I've changed cooler as you can see but only 810-1944-1192 it's benchable .

Hmmm

I have my EVGA 8800GTS 512MB at 775/1000/1936 w/ fan at 75% and my Q9300 at 415x7.5=3.113 GHZ and my 3DMark06 score is 14,549 see sig for link.

I guess I should be happy, but I want more

Both my 8800 GTS died. Saving up for 2 more GTX260.

Turns out, both my 8800GTS 512 is alive, just bad memory from the OCZ reapers, causing me to remove my graphic card to boot up.

Before and after : It's all about the cores and mhz ->

Before: 3.42ghz E4300 8800GTS G92 840/2206/2098 14,228



After: 3.6ghz Q6700 8800GTS G92 840/2198/2098 16,973



After #2: 3.9ghz Q6700 8800GTS G92 840/2198/2098 17,399



SM2 6644 -> 7351 +707(10.6%)
SM3 6803 -> 6917 +114(1.68%)
CPU 3044 -> 6115 +3071(101%)

It's seems this Q6700 might even squeeze out a few more Mhz...
