Good 6800GT overclock?

[imported_Traxis]

What is considered a 'good' overclock for a 6800GT? Mine is an eVGA and it is at 417/1130MHz. It seems pretty stable, ran RTHDRIBL for ~45 minutes w/ no crashes or artifacts. I also ran the CS:S video stress test, Doom3 timedemo 1, and 3dMark05 with no problems. I also played BF2 for a while as well. Are my temps good? I am using the copper heatsink from eVGA and my temps are low 50s idle, 75-77 under load.

my 6600GT has faster memory than that (1250 OC'd), but with your temps at 75-77 (I have 55-58 load), I wouldn't push it any farther, but I don't have a clue as to what is good for a 6800GT, it might have higher temps than a 6600GT.

thats a pretty good oc

Not a bad OC at all.

yea not a bad OC at all, my PNY can get up to 425/1.15, however i just keep it at 400/1100 cuz I dont play anything hardcore intensive besides CS:S, my temps are 53 idle and 63 full load

As long as you have a pretty decent ambient temp ( Air Conditioning running) you should be able to swap the bios for an ultra rev. 4. Its 425gpu/1.10mem and for me i get 51c-idle/78c-load using the nv5 silencer. Oh yeah mine was an EVGA 6800gt also.

Question about RTHDRIBL - does it use all the video memory 256Mb available. I'm looking for a utility that can check the Vram effectively.

it may seem stable...but are you actually getting higher scores in 3dmark? I noticed that when I get above a certain overclock...my scores actually go down, not up.
