The 55nm GTX 260 216 Overclock Thread

[GeforceGTS]

Just started overclocking mine, I bumped it straight to 700/1500 and left the memory at the stock 2300, tested with FurMark and ATItool, going to push it further now.

i duno if i want to disturb my setup right now, and build a gaming comp or just upgrade. so i'll leave it out of my rig for now

I'm at 704 / 1518 or something like that, 45% fan speed.


But if I push it ANY further it will crash within 30 seconds in Furmark, but not due to a temperature problem because i stay under 85 degrees under load

any idea why?

So these new cards are only as overclockable as the 65mm version, i thought they would be a bit better


XWINX-

Try dropping your shader clock to 1450MHz or less, i would think that is the cause of your stability problems

we'll see about that, there aren't even any "official" results yet...

oh and xwinx said he is on 65nm...

Hm can't help you there, 85c is a little toasty, although perfectly safe i'd still bump up my fan speed a bit, 60-70% is still pretty quiet.

I'm currently at 756/1512/2300, load temps are 55c after 20 mins of artifact scanning in ATItool with 80% fan speed, I can't compare my temps to my old 65nm though because i've just moved into a different appartment for two months and it's alot warmer in here D;

Just got a new PB in Vantage at these clocks too, only by a few hundred points though, time to try out some games now

What vantage score did you get with those clocks ???

13555, something like that anyway, I know it was 135XX. I'll do another run and take a screenshot, I forgot to take one for some reason.
