Is this considered a good overclock for a 6600GT??

[formulav8]

Messing around with a customers MSI 6600GT PCI-Express Video Card and seeing how high it would go.

I got (604 Mhz Core) and (1299 Mhz Memory) completely 100% stable. I tried to do more on the memory but the stupid overclock tool wouldn't let me.

So, what do you think?? The core is watercooled and runs at 41* C. The memory has nothing on it. Not even a hsf to cover it.

um, compared to my 545/1020 i got once, you're seems very nice.

Great OC. I've hit 579/1090 max. :beer: for you.

Thanks for the comments.

I used RivaTuner for the ocing. I wish there was some way to disable that test thing before the clocks change. Anyone know how too??

EDIT: The memory is 2ns. But I do not remember the brand. So, it is clocking to about 1.6ns speed memory??

Plus, would this oced 6600GT be close to a 6800 Vanilla now since the high oc or still below the regular 6800???

I also calculated the increases in clock speeds of the core and memory. I am guessing the memory would be more of a bottleneck than the core.

Core: 17.22% increase over stock

Memory: 23.02% increase over stock.

So, in the real world that would probably equal a 15% increase in performance?? Anyone care to guess?? I forgot to do before and after tests I no longer have the card to play with either.
