I have an AGP x800xt clock to 520/550. It will hit 92 C under load. I know the heatsink is stock, I hope to water cool after a few more paychecks. Then I will know how far I can go with proper cooling.

Just ran 3dmark05, got 5638. wooohoooo!!

X850XT PE went to 640/615 on H2O. Was worth ~7500 in 3DMark05.

I was running an Asus Ti4200 (V8420S) as high as 339MHz core and 689MHz memory. This is compared to its default 261/550. I had replaced the original heatsink with something from Thermaltake, which came with some RAM heatsinks, but this card overclocked like this even with the stock cooling.

I've recently retired the Ti4200 and upgraded to a Leadtek 6800GT, but I've not felt any need to overclock this (yet), since I'm CPU bound with a an Athlon XP mobile at 2.3GHz, anyway.

6800 GT @ 430/1130. Waiting to get my Thermalright V1, temps will drop 30C, and hopefully I'll get to 450/1150. I'll post back when i get it.

BFG 6800 GT, 414/1104. Helps quite a bit with minimum framerates in newer games. Gets about 5600 3dmarks. I could probably go quite a bit higher if I replace the POS stock dual fan cooler, but I might not be using this card for much longer so I don't want to spend money on a cooler for it.

My Gainward Golden Sample Geforce4 MX440 card runs stock at 275 core and 400 memory. It's starting to fail now so it won't do it any more, but it was running stable for a very long time at 380 core and 610 memory and could complete 3DMark2001 tests with no errors at 395/635. :p

It's still an old card regardless of the speed it runs at, but by percentage it's by far the best overclocker I've ever had in a video card...

ABIT Guru-9550 FTW ;)

from stock 250/400 it's at 486/634...not too shabby eh ;)

temps don't top 40'C either :D

I'll push it further with rivatuner at the weekend, at the top of the vGuru slider...

It was for me ;) A stock 9550 or a 9600XT...hmmm thats a lot of fps difference in farcry and hl2...

But i've never overclocked my 9800 pro, and i don't intend to when i get it back...

I did....hence i overclocked my Dell 6800GTO....and it gives me much better performance in games for a cheaper price...heh..

furthest i've pushed it and completed a run of 3dMark and been able to play games was 430/1140 16/6......only managed it once tho and hit a load temp of 110c at the most (averaged around 106 tho...heh)...this was with the stock cooling it comes with, im assuming its the same as the GT.........when i first got the card i dont think i could take it quite that high, but after having it a while i rebenchied it.....sadly i cant for the life of me remember the scores i got...lol

usually tho i have it at 400/1100 when playing games, but i pull it back to what u see below when not gaming......used to be the below spec when gaming, but i've had the card long enough now i dont care if it blows, i'll just get another card as i've got spare moolah to do that :)
