I got mine to 1100Mhz core, 2350Mhz Shaders and 3000Mhz RAM.:D

My temps are around 400C with the fan at 150%.

Hard to say, but those numbers in sig seem crazy high. What cooling you using?

I have the vanilla EVGA core 216, and I have been just a bit lower than that, but certainly not stable.

I will try tweaking again, and see what I can get stable.

I have an EVGA 216 55nm and have had it stable at 756 core 1514 shader 1215 ram - that was with stock cooling and fan at 75%

it was stable like that for months, but now i play old stuff so i have my entire rig at stock settings

(Q6600 etc etc, the usual stuff)

edit:
forgot temps, my card would peak at 79c under full load with 75% fan speed at those clocks

Nice! I will definitely get the latest version of precision and try again with the latest drivers!

In your opinion, does the 55 NM verions OC better? or worse? or same? I heard that EVGA used cheaper cooling for the 55 nm parts to save $$$, but on the other hand the smaller process size uses less power.

I am wondering because I may get a another 260 in the future, and I want know if picking out a 55nm one is worth it. Of course I could just get a custom excellero cooler, and then it would be awesome!
