Leadtek GeForce 7800GT 256MB Owners...

Seems like this is the cheapest GT out there. Just wondering what overclock levels you have got from this card?

If i get one im gonna fit a Zalman cooler on it so i guess that would increase the overclock level

many thanks!

470/1170 stupidly stable in all games. more than that is good for Atitool, BF2, FEAR and 3dM but not CSS weirdly. at these speeds i get just under 3900 in 3dmark 06 with a single core A64 @ 266*9

I think all these boards are the same, my XFX 7800GT is a poor clocker, comes clocked to 450mhz and wont go much higher than 460mhz :eek:

Not bad at all though! Over 10% increase. Is that with the stock cooler also?
What do you guys use to manage overclocking? Is coolbits any good?
Questions Questions!

I have the OCuk card, auto detects at 490/1.18 using coolbits but will run 497/1.24 without a problem.

Wow thats a major up in speed

Looks like this might be the best bang for buck

He only had it 3mhz more on the core than me and 40mhz less on the mem so I would say stock

impressive clocks for a cheap 7800GT

My BFG 7800GT does 495/1250 max, I run it at 485/1200 for normal gaming thought just incase

Meh...memory clock is still crap

Core is 32mhz higher, probably a slight volt mod. Doubt that would cause any problems on stock cooling. Mine only hits 55c load in a warm room anyway

Hyper · 21 Feb 2006 at 01:51

Nice clock mate.

n3x · 21 Feb 2006 at 08:41

i get serious sparklies at anything over 470ish and major triangles all over the place @ 1200 but only on nfsmw for some reason :confused:

not impressed with my leadtek

aardvark · 21 Feb 2006 at 09:45

i get 490/1.18

higher memory crashes and the core at 500 gives lots of errors so i'm at 485/1.18 at the moment and will probably stay there

man_from_uncle · 21 Feb 2006 at 09:46

I tend to run it at about 470/1.12. I've got an Antec Vcool under it and that helped it stay stable and artifact free at that level. It maxes out at about 495/1.18 but that's got me over 4100 in 3dmark06 and 8300 in 05.

Albaba · 21 Feb 2006 at 10:08

And does it run just about every game pretty much maxed out?

Albaba

man_from_uncle · 21 Feb 2006 at 10:26

So far pretty much. I wouldn't fancy it to do FEAR max at 1280x968 with full AA and AF, not above 40fps anyway. But it'll do pretty much everything else more than comfortabley.

Albaba · 21 Feb 2006 at 16:18

Sounds like a definate bargain then, i mean most of you are getting around a 20% speed increase from stock which is very good if you ask me

Thanks guys
