my 6800gt overclock results

[enthusiast1917]

Hi, i have a p4 3.0ghz, 1gig of ram, and a 6800gt (agp8x)

I recently overclocked my 6800gt from 350/1000 to 400/1100, ultra speeds, temps are a bit higher, but is very stable, and does not crash or artifact. Thing is, games like dod source and stuff have lower fps counts especially HDR maps, going to as low as 30fps. The same settings in the video options were tried for the 350/1000 and 400/1100. help pls.

What card do you have and what mobo?

hdr eats your babies!

What fps do you get on stock speeds to compare with the overclocked speeds.

what kind of resolution are you playing at... my 6800 gs is overclocked fairly high (485/1150) and i havent noticed any sort of huge drop.. but then again, i don't think i've played any hdr maps in cs... i should give that a try sometime

try cs_militia

um, 1024 x768, with settings with the recommened * next to it, and without o/c i get 50-100 with oc 30-70 or somewhat, im going on the basis of how many times i see the gameplay become choppy and the fps counter going red, but i was wondering if in any way possible, a stable overclock could reduce ur fps

 

[NosBoost300]

well i had the same problem when i had it at 500/1.2 ... it was a pretty bad case... the fps would get so low... and after about 45 min of play, the artifacts would come... maybe you should just clock it down a lil bit, and what kind of temps are you getting?

 

[Nitestick]

take the clock down a bit. sounds like overheating. if you ever run into symptoms like this downclosk, there is no use having a "stable" overclock if it doesn't improve performance. the devil in overclocking is finding the best compromise.

oh, i see thank you. ill try mess around with the settings a bit. and my temps depend on the kind of day it is, right now its at 62-63 idle and goes up to 86-87 when i stress it out with atitool's scan for artifacts thing. are these temps high?
