pghguins Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 Was thinking of overclocking my nvida 8800 ultra card but i'm alittle cautious since i only have stock cooling on it, and i don't really know much about overclocking. I was wondering what kind of ppd increase I might get out of overclocking it to its potential. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLS2008 Posted February 17, 2009 Posted February 17, 2009 You probably won't see enough gain to warrant the risk... EDIT: I take that back. As long as your temps are kept cool, you can push it a ways. I was thinking along the lines of my 4870 that doesn't liked to be overclocked.

hardnrg Posted February 18, 2009 Posted February 18, 2009 You'll see a near-linear improvement in folding performance with the rise in clock speed, with only a small increase in heat (since you are not increasing the voltage, only the clock rate) The G80 likes to be overclocked Just make sure it's stable by using 3DMark benchmarks, RTHDRIBL, and a bunch of high-end graphical games Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
