8800gts o/c software

[miker1]

Morning Folks,
Another of my extremely rare posts. {I am NEVER going to get on MM ]

Just received my BFG8800GTS 320 to replace my 6800GT..........

Hope to notice a quality difference here.

However I have never really O/C'd a graphics card and I noticed that NTune seems not to wrk on these cards, so what do I use?

Cheers
Mike

You will notice a huge difference nice choice of upgrade!

Right my experience thus far is this!

Ntune doesnt work correctly yet, if you try to find the optimal clocks with it then it will crash no way to recover just a system restart!

So the workaround at the moment is this, install riva tuner, this way you can manually clock the card, obviously you can test it in there. Once you have manually clocked, even up 1mhz then ntune will let you play about with the clocks but....still wont detect the optimal clocks for you. You will still need to do it manually also in ntune but you can test it, its frustrating but the only way thus far!

I always use Rivatuner for overclocking, it has a test function you need to press before you can apply the new speeds.

As for the difference, it will be huge, I went from a overclocked 7800GT to a 8800GTS and the difference is big.

I think the average overclock is ~625Mhz to 650Mhz for the core and ~1950Mhz to 2000Mhz for the memory, I am quite lucky that my 640MB card overclocks to 650/2000
