Would this be considered a pretty decent overclock?

[Therk]

PCI-E Sparkle 6800 GS default clocks 425/1000 -----> 540/1230

Stock cooling 😀

Yea thats a good oc is it stable (minimal artifacting) in 3dmark my bros Evga 6800GS does 535/1.28 on stock cooling

 

[Therk]

no artifacting at all, I can push it to 550/1240ish with minimal artifacts though

 

[Therk]

Anybody got higher with stock cooling?

 

[Effect]

I haven't seen much higher, seems you've done well. How much has the performance increased?

Is this one of the 6800's with the extra four unlockable pipelines, or is that just the BFG ones? Very nice OC btw... heh, almost %25 on the Memory with good stability is insane! And I second Effect's question : what kind of performance gains has it netted?

It's the PCI-express variety, not unlockable like the AGP one, but runs on a better process and can overclock much better as well.

I think it scored about 6500ish in 3dmark 05, not sure.

Oh and I don't actually play at those frequencies just to be safe, I play at what the 'optimal' thing in the overclocking panel recommends me to which is 525/1.2 (at this I score about 6100 in 3dmark 05)
