The 55nm GTX 260 216 Overclock Thread

[NrGx]

Mine is working at Black Edition clocks stable. Not sure how much further I want to push it.

What is recomended memory overclock for GTX 260?

Hiya shanbcn. Recommended depends on what you are going to use it for. For gaming and video you would want to raise, as high as you can, the clock and the memory. For folding you would leave those two alone and adjust the shader as high as you can. I leave it at stock when I game because the games I do play play great for me. I can't go with my folding shaders, 1566, and startup N4SMostWanted or it locks up my system. I probably could raise it to 625c/1200m/1404s and see how it runs. Then when I play Farcry or Half Life2 just one of my gpu's are enough at almost stock.

So your question has lots of answers because of what you want it to do. Take a peek in the Nvidia section of the forum and see who is asking the same thing as you and read a bunch. Me, I just had a three hour racing session and now I'll fold for a few days then maybe play Farcry for awhile then more folding and browsing.

Folding at these clocks. Had to raise core clock to push shaders further. Unstable at 1566, though. Got an extra two straps from the core overclock vs. stock.

Been using this for a week now.



Voltages are stock.

I've been running these. Card is mostly for folding at the moment. I'll probably push the shader higher if possible. Voltages are currently stock.

Lower memory and core clocks for less heat output, which means better shaders overclocking (they become more unstable as temperature rises).

Holy ****! Nice shader clock! You better start folding!
Any benchmarks?
