GTX280 overclock

jakspyder · 5 Jan 2009 at 20:36

heya i got a gtx280 a while back and currently have it sitting at:
core: 702
shader: 1501
mem:1202

was just wanting to know if this is good, and what things give the best benefit?

im just on stock cooler but its freezing in here so temps are pretty damn good, and iv usually got loud music/game noise/headphones so a kinda loud fan isnt really a problem as long as it aint at 100% all the time

so erm yeah, shall i go more, what should i increase/decrease etc etc

thanks

If u've got good temps why not go higher.
The best benefit will give you GPU clock.
I would leave memory on 2400 MHz it is high enough.

That is a very good OC mate, mine wouldnt go that high (POV) which one do you have (make)

XFX its not far off freezing in this room though
28 degrees atm, just in 2d clocks and doing nothing at all. got side fan blowing onto it too
and the 3 120mm fans at front of case (antec 900) blowing air through case and out top/back.

I would leave it where it is, you have a great clock there, I think a lot of water coolers would be happy with that..

XFX they are making dood products - I had XFX 8800 GTS 512 with AC S1 rev.2 - OC 780/2200 solid stable.

What are you using to test your clock?
I might have a go at mine? i'm sat at 665, 2400, and 1458 at the mo

cheers

games, what else, i can fold on it stable for days too so must be good i guess, there isnt a gpu burn test type thing is there? if so point one in my direction.
