Problem with the nTune

[Stevethegreat]

Hiya guys I would like an explanation of this

OK ignore the Greek..... The problem is that my card runs pretty cool during gameplay, it tops at around 60C maximum and I still have some space for some tweaking. Since this is my first card of that range (it is an 8800GTX) I would like to squeeze every last bit of her. I just feel constrained right now, running at stock speeds while I can actually run it about 10% faster.

Your help would be really appreciated.

My other specs are (If they are of any help to you):
MSI p965NEO mobo
Core 2 Duo E6600 o/c 3.0GHz (333FSB)
2GB OCZ Gold PC2 6400 5-5-5-12, running at 667MHz 3-4-4-10 (1:1)
550W PSU
WD Raptor 80GB (it doesn't play any role, just for the heck of it)

From what I can take nobody before me encountered such a problem. Pity I really wanted to see how far this card could go.

Not sure really what you're looking for.

My 7800GTX get's into the 70's C in heavy gameplay. I think that's about normal. I idle in the upper 50's, so if you're getting 60 at load, I'd think you have quite a bit a room to push things a bit.

Just watch stability and artifacting.

You'd probably have had better luck if you'd posted this in the Video forum, that's where most of the Video Guru's hang out 😉


BTW - Welcome to the Forums.

The problem is that nTune doesn't let me use its sliders, they're always grey. Even if I check "manually clock the card" they remain grey (unusable). I was refering to that nTune bug from the beginning. I was (am) just wondering why is that and how can I use the sliders. For now I'm constrained to my stock speed because of that. BTW thanks for trying to help me
