how high did your gtx overclock? ~~POLL~~

[chinkgai]

just curious as to how good these cores are. maybe find a correlation between different manufacturers? please vote then post your manufacturer and specs.

if you can state what it auto detected at and whether or not it was accurate would be helpful too!

Mine are reference cards, but I got both up to 500/1410.

 

[Corporate Thug]

500/1400

Just a note. What software did you use to overclock? I know there is a reg hack that enables the nvidia control panel software to gain a extra tab for overclocking without having to use 3rd party software such as rivatuner. Where can i find this?

Edit: Ive found something called coolbits. Is this the correct file im looking for? This will let me overclock using the reference drivers?

Coolbits.reg is the correct file.

RivaTuner is an excellent alternative, and more feature rich.

remember to use coolbit 2

mine is bfg, you guys arent stating yours...well ronin did..

wow are only the high clocking ones voting??? cuz i've seen four bfg oc's myself and they were 470-480 ish average with crappy mem clocks to match (well crappy is relative since they are already factory oc'ed)

 

[Dainas]

as said in my profile, mine goes only up to 490-1.31, however its still using reference cooling and is PNY(hardly an overclockers favorite). But I bought it for $530 only 2-3 weeks after the 7800GTX was released.

 

[CPlusPlusGeek]

NV Silencer, my RAM conks out by 1350

My core is in the 510-515 area (These being the STABLE clocks)

eVGA GTX Factory OCed at 450/1200

 

[Hacp]

No option for 625/1500??

Maybe you should clarify max clocks 24/7, artifact free?

thats what im curious about

if it were just to see if i can get that high, then my card can go really really high...

 

[demenion]

my "GT" overclocks to 490/1.15

8012 in 3dmark 05

 

[imported_ST]

500/1350 for stock cooling

520/1400 /w AC Silencer 5 Rev. 3

question

you've already paid $450+ for the fastest video card money can buy.....

why are you risking destroying the product by overclocking it? The performance gains are marginal at best...it's not like you are OC'ing a processor and going from 2.4ghz to 3ghz....

some of us do it for fun.

i've NEVER destroyed a video card from software overclocking...in fact...not even volt modding, altho volt modding sure gave me some close calls.

i dont need all the power my computer packs...i do it for fun.

if i were to buy a sports car that alread had 300hp, slapping a turbo on to give me an extra 100hp would be purely for fun and because i could. does any of us NEED 300hp? or 400? does the mercedes sl55 that execs drive need nearly 500hp?

the list goes on and on...i think you've been a member here long enough to realize that practically everyone here overclocks something or other
