I'm using 9800GTX+ and i'm very proud of it. I'm also using a 8600GT for Dedicated PhysX but i can't really say PhysX is it's thing! Can i overclock this card to get better performance? I'm downloading riva tuner v2.24 and although i'm a little familiar with overclocking , GPU ocing looks like it has nothing to do with fsb or etc. Can you help me?..

Do the desktop versions of the 8600 have the same fatal flaw as 8600m? If so don't OC.

yeah worst that can happen is it will go fussy on the screen and you will need to reboot!

I don't trust my cooling so i don't wanna play with voltages. Any "safe" values in stock voltage maybe?..

Is there an 8600GT ocing guide? Where do i start? Is there anything special that i need to know?

I have to admit even though i love my 8600GT as a "card" , it kills me in mirror's edge as a physx card. I heard 9800GT is a perfect PPL and i was wondering if i oc my 8600GT , would it be as good as or almost good as 9800GT..
Thanks..
