I'm a novice to GPU overclocking, looking for some guidance

[georgio440]

I'm interested in overclocking my 8800GTS. I have Riva Tuner installed, but I really have no idea where to start. Can someone give me the specs to a good GPU overclock, and how to go about changing timings and such? Thanks for any help.

Oh, well it looks like RivaTuner isn't going to work with Vista x64. Any other good videocard overclocking programs out there?

ATITool should work well. Or use the control panel for your video card.

GPU overclocking is alot more hit or miss than CPU overclocking. Either your card will do it fine or it won't. With CPU overclocking you can generally say "most of this type of CPU will reach this speed" not so with video cards.

Hmm... I have seen set ups with my card running @ 630/2000 and 620/1000. I really don't know where to start with overclocking. I'll try downloading ATITool, but I doubt I'll know what to do.

Also, wouldn't a program called "ATITool" be fore ATi cards?
