I am trying to OC my 9800GX2 in my folder right now and I don't think it is working properly. What is a normal OC for this card? Right now I have each core at 751/1751/1104 and it does not seem to be working. Each client is stuck at "Starting GUI server." Stock clocks for this card are 650/1624/1050.

I dont know about the OC for that card, but if your using riva then you must start you computer with f8 select disable driver enforcement, then reinstall riva or simply add the /build command. Thats probably why its not OCing right.

I run mine at the 1728Mhz strap (1730 actually). The next shader strap is at 1782.
I only OC the shader.

What!?!
I have never heard of that before. I can't really F8 restart this machine because I am remoting into it with VNC. I just read a random post via google search that says build command is not required under new driver install. But, I just tried it anyway.

Shouldn't the client be starting rather quickly? It seems to be stuck in the "Starting GUI Server."

Yea i have bad problems in vista if i don't disable driver enforcement everytime i restart, plus riva works much better when shista isn't blocking your drivers.

This is on XP Pro 32 bit.

*EDIT* Well, it seems to have started, but it deleted 86% of my progress on one of the new 5902 WUs.
I am running both at 701/1727/1050.
