I'm going to start overclocking my system for practice since I'm going to build a new one soon. I'm starting with my eVGA 6800 GT. I have Rivatuner and when I increase my Memory clock or Core clock if I go to high it will give me an error message. I read to do this and then find the max it would let me set it to, which is 434 Max Core Clock and 1179 Max Memory Clock. Default is 350/1000.
I tried 375/1000 which worked, then I went to 400/1000 and then to 420/1000. They all work when I 3DMark05 and play any of my games. No artifacts, tearing, freezes or crashes so far.
Should I continue doing it this way for my Core and Memory? Then when I find one that won't work go 5 MHz up or down until I find a stable one then try to go between the 5 MHz and find the most stable?
If I'm totally wrong on this I'd like to know, which I don't think I am.
This is how I'm documenting it in case you have any better ideas. Not great but ok I guess.
