I'm gonna resurrect this thread now that I've overclocked my video card.
I used RivaTuner to do this and ended up with the following:
Core: running at 550 MHz (up from 500 MHz)
Memory: running at 1050 MHz (up from 1000 MHz)
I used 3DMark05 to benchmark. The new score (3572) ended up about 200 points above my baseline score. Now I can play Oblivion at 1024x728 resolution with AA = 4x with no problems whatsoever...which is good enough for me (until I get more money someday)
My question now is - has anyone else 'clocked a card like this much higher? I had the core at 570 MHz at one point, and I started seeing flashing green polygons in the game so I slowly brought it down to a safe level. The memory is safe where it is, but I'm sure I could go higher. I guess I'm just wondering how high people have gotten when doing this sort of thing...
