Possible to overclock dual 6800's?

Yes. Just watch out for temps. TBH, i don't think they'll last. I would just sell it on for 5 and keep the other one for physx and get a decent card.
Seriously - if they don't do what you need, UPGRADE!!!

Things move very fast in the GPU industry and seven years is very long.

The 6800s are pretty much old tech now and even a single modern low/mid end card would easily match both cards.
 
I used to use rivatuner to clock mine back in the day.

My 6800 used to clock like crazy :D (could hit 100C tho while gaming)

You won't manage that kinda clock on a regular 6800 tho.

EDIT: One thing to check - I can't remember which cards could and couldn't now - some of the 6800 you could unlock some extra pipelines with a software patch in rivatuner for a free performance boost.

Those 6800's really need to go. They are beaten by even low end cards nowadays. Treat yourself to a modern card that will perform massively better and use less power.
