Going to go higher on the Vmem tomorrow, hoping to reach 2k over stock score on 3dmark06 .

Edit: Raised Vmem to 2.13V and almost reached 6.6k: http://service.futuremark.com/orb/re...=0&UID=9715160

Edit2: Switched from the drivers that came with 8600GT CD to 158.22, and noticed a huge performance increase !

And btw, this card only cost me $125 after rebate.

I was going to go for a 8600GTS but that was about $50 more, and I'm on a tight budget (my RAM only cost me $57 shipped ) so I'm happy I chose the 8600GT.

Those are similar scores to my X1950XT -- it may be due to the 1ghz gain your processor has on mine (not overclocking at this moment), but it's still something impressive.

So to hit 6k all I have to do is vmod everything on the card eh? Great stuff, but I'll stick with my 12k un-vmodded 2900XT

Still impressive nonetheless. This is what Overclocking is all about guys.
