Until this recent build I have always owned ATI cards. I now have dual eVGA 7800GT's running at the stock 470/1100 my current system. My question is about overclocking these cards.
I have used coolbits to try and OC these cards using the "Detect Optimal Frequency" option and was only able to get something like 490/1120. Using ATI tool with my X600 Pro in my other system I was able to push the core from the stock 400 to 575 and remain stable. However the memory on the X600 Pro wouldnt overclock one bit and crashed at the slightest increase. Regardless, the massive core OC of the X600 Pro gave me a very decent performance increase.
Anyhow, I was wondering if there was something like ATI tool for nVidia cards that will do more stressful testing of the cards. It just seems to me that coolbits isn't really doing much when it trys to OC the nVidia cards because it only takes a few seconds to do it. ATI Tool took a couple hours of testing to find the optimal speeds. How could it be that coolbits finds the optimal clocks so fast when ATI Tool takes so long? As I said, coolbits just seems kind of wimpy to me. The alternative would be to just manually jack the speeds up on these cards but I'm not crazy about doing that. I'd rather have an application to do it for me.
Thanks for any info on this.
