Same as any other clocking application I'd of thought

.

One thing I do like about it, is no messing. I use this instead of Rivatuner now...

Got 621/1512/1000(2000)

Out my GTX with it

NICE!!

I take it thats:

621 Core
1512 Shader (1500 would be ultra speeds

)
2000 Memory

Much difference mate?

That's correct

Yes mate I've noticed a little difference gaming, does seem to have quite a bit more grunt, the biggest was the extra 1k in 3DMark it gained.

Not bad for free

Bloody right mate....time for some judicious tweaking tonight then

Yes it should do..

Cool, just got this a overclocked my card to the speed in my sig and i gained about 3 fps (Average in GPU benchmark) in crysis, which is around a 10% increase. For my first overclock i don't think that is to bad. TY Andy for letting me know

Steedie · 20 Nov 2007 at 22:50

Does this work on Vista x64 at all?

thecremeegg · 20 Nov 2007 at 22:59

What shader speed should an 8800gts be able to take?

JediFragger · 20 Nov 2007 at 23:01

I get;

700 core
2000 memory
1750 shader clock

All on my 8800GT :cool:

No worries mate

I'm running it on Vista 64 Home Premium mate

MumboJumbo · 20 Nov 2007 at 23:42

I didn't know andy

Come on then benchmarks peeps... i want crysis, half life etc get a move on

Though it would be good to see how much changing the shader has an affect on fps. Espeicaly in a game like crysis.

Hobgoblin · 20 Nov 2007 at 23:50

ah cheers, i had the version 3 beta of 5.6 and it wouldnt let me overclock my shader only under.

got it up to 1675 now

cheers

Gashman · 20 Nov 2007 at 23:52

does this save your settings so its default at startup or not? cause i have found my GTS IMPOSSIBLE to overclock in vista and keep it stable, will higher shader clock give large performance boost?

Dist · 20 Nov 2007 at 23:56

im guessing that overclocking core, shader or mem will all increase heat, but which is most important to overclock? like would sacrificing some shader speed for some more core speed be good? or is it best to overclock all evenly?
