jakestg Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Ok, Ive posted here before about a question but now I did it. I finished overclocking and here they are. Core Clock: 725MHz Shader Clock: 1847MHz Memory clock: 2015MHz GPU Fan Speed: 100% I did 3DMark06 with 8x AA and 1680x1050. I never got above 60C. Is that any good at all? I ran 2 tests with it as those settings. Do you think it will stay at a good temperature when im playing for a LONG time? O And I saw no Artifacts. Thanks, Jake PS: Is there some warning telling you your GPU is way to hot? Or does the computer just reboot or BSOD. And Could my card go any further in Overclocking?

SMeeD Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 I would test in a loop for a little while to check for artifacts, then see how hot your GPU gets. Im sure that the temps are going to be fine even for extended play sessions. That GPU doesnt throttle until over 100C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_bowtie Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 search for reviews on your card across the web....you'll find all your answers.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 what card do you have? download ATITool and use the 3D test for artifacts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...t&p=1562047 you'll see artifacting and/or massive FPS drops when the GPU/GDDR is too hot... also it might crash/freeze... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakestg Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Well, I played CSS and FSX.. I also Did 3dmark06 like 6 times at Resos 1280x1024 and 1680x1050 and I saw no Artifacts and They both were on 8X AA. Im not exceeding temps above 60C. And ATI is useless everytime I click to look for artifacts it says Windows Doesent reconize something as explained in the link that hardnrg posted. http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.p...t&p=1562047 But right now im running fine I guess I will try FSX 1 more time.

Praz Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 You should be fine with those settings. Most all 512Mb 8800GTS cards can do at least that on stock cooling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardnrg Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I like to overclock my hardware until it's unstable so that I know what the unstable point is... I wouldn't run my cards 1MHz under stable because they might freeze up after an hour or so gaming or something if the clock flicked up 1MHz for a second... Otherwise I'd just be guessing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compxpert Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Got my 3870 pretty well OC'd. Core clock is 866 while and Ram is 1325 @ 60C full load. Never noticed any artifacts in the months that I have run it at that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
