8800gts OC problems, help!

[Riznarf]

I've seen people OC an 8800gts to atleast 650/975 and sometimes higher, but mine currently is at 617/905 and it fails the test if i move either setting up. Is that simply the highest it can go or should I use a different program to OC (im using ntune now) idle gpu temp is 49c.

Different VGAs, overclocks differently. My EVGA 7600GT can only overclock to 630/770 while b1gapl's XFX 7600GT 610/1300, I think? Well you see where I'm going.

 

[Riznarf]

yeah, but does it matter which program i use to OC or not really?

 

[phucng_10]

Nope. Aren't you using ATi Tool?

 

[Riznarf]

nope, ntune, should i be using ati tool?

 

[phucng_10]

Well, I never really used anything else rather then the ATi Tool.

 

[Riznarf]

does it matter that i dont have an ati card?

are you sure your video card is 630/770? because the ram is GDDR3, so it should be doubled for the effective speed...i've never seen a video card memory clocked that low since GDDR, even GDDR2 is at like 800mhz

If I went further, it would be getting Artifacts. It's cause my 7600GT is a low-end card.

Wait ... wait! What the heck!

Newegg.com - EVGA 256-P2-N615-TX GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

560MHz core and 1400MHz memory? What's going on here!

Default on my VGA is 560 core and 700 memory.

link to me your card...whether it be newegg or somewhere else...i don't think your memory clock is 770, more like 14xx
