Well, I got my 8800GTS 320mb yesterday. (Need to update sig) Boy is it a big upgrade from an FX5200, from running BF2 at min everything at about 25/30fps to max everything at 70fps. :D
Well anyway, today i wanted to test out the overclocking on it, and using ATItool, i got it up from 513/793 to 650/1200 without breaking a sweat, all at a positively freezing load temp of 65 degrees. Are all the cards this amazing, or was I just damn lucky, cause that is a massive overclock on the memory. Needless to say i'm very impressed :D. I'll run 3dmark on it later, see what I get. :)
This is the best pic I can get at the mo, tomorrow i'll do some more. And also, I have a K8SLI-ESataII mobo, and an AM2 CPU board, which means when I can afford an X2 CPU and DDR2 ram, I can pop them in there :)
I broke 6k in 3DMark 06 with an X1900XT and E6600 (both overclocked) - I'd say your processor is definitely holding you back from getting a score more in keeping with that graphics card..
Hmmmm, I think something maybe wrong here. After overclocking both my CPU and GTS, I only got 6009 3Dmarks, which is about 1000 lower than people with comparitive systems. Any ideas?
[QUOTE="Shadow_Chicken"]Right click it then click "view image" - GS auto resizes them :SAARONRULZ1
It doesn't do that,the pic shows,but its way too small. I dont know what your talking about but it got better, I use firefox. You can already tell that is a real pic because his name is on the top right corner of the web page.

have you got all the updated drivers and what not?
i think it's probably a discrepancy in how atitool reads the memory.. it's likely not represented in DDR for whatever reason. i can't imagine most gddr3 pulling 1200mhz (2400mhz ddr!) without a sweat, so the memory 'overclock' might be running at 200mhz less than stock speeds. just guessing, though..
Hmm, on further ivestigation using rivatuner, it turns out that ATITool doesn't actually change the memory, although the core and the stream processors overclock fine :S
I broke over 10,000+ on 3D Mark 06, so it is obious that your processor and what not are holding down that BEAST! with like a tow truck chain of a bottleneck!

yeah dude u can get it to 648/999 with no problem nvidia uses clock gen of 27 ... so ur clock speed has to be multiple of 27 648 = 27 x 22 999 or 1998 = 27 x 37
