Has anyone unlocked & overclocked this card?

I just got a Evga 6800 and I'm not sure what to do with it. Is it best to overclock, unlock or both?

Nope. You can still OC it. Just OC until you see artifacts then back down.

You can unlock it and oc, but it doesnt seem to go very high. The "determine best settings" gives me like 6mhz on core and 25 on memory. But you can go higher. I keep it in the safe range of 350MHz. I think the reason it doesnt oc well is because it needs more pipes becuase of the extra pipes and vertex shader.

PCI-e 6800 NUs = they can't be unlocked , but can be overclocked
