    How to Overclock 6800 GT

    Before you all yell at me for duplicate posts, I've tried searching and get too many (or no) results for "overclocking 6800 gt". I only need a quick reply, what programs should I use to overclock my eVGA 6800GT? Then I can run a search on those names and find what I need. Thanks.

    you missed out on the micro center sale of the eVGA 6800gt's for $319. I tried getting another one online and it said it's no longer available. I picked my 1st one up from the microcenter in Cambridge, MA. Got the 2nd to last one left.
