Unlikely on a 6800NU, but if you actually did, you got one helluva card.

The 6800 series are generally great overclockers. Almost everyone can hit Ultra, and a fair number can hit Ultra Extreme, myself included.

I find it wierd that 700mhz memory can hit over 1100mhz, but that is one holy grail of a card.

"What would my card be called?"

A ticking timebomb maybe?

Back-off that core man!! you are probably only getting 2fps and another 50 3Dmark points from it. Drop it back to at least 450MHz and be proud.

i use the ntunes nvidia software, and it automatically found this setting. Haven't pushed farther as i don't need it.

How do i take a pic of the riva tuner settings to show you guys?

I got the XFX 6800 128mb card.
I ran the Ntune from nvidia to overclock it. It shows up at 490 core, 1125 mem.

After i ran 3dmark, i read the system info. But something was wrong, sinc eit says 360 core, 850 mem.

So after further reaserach, i think the nvidia software might be giving te wrong numbers. So I'm sorry to everyone, i was just so excited to get a card like that, but as usual, i'm not as lucky.

But what suggestion do yo have for me to be able to o/c more? whats best heatsink/fan to get?
