OC'ing the Asus 6800GT/V9999GT

gam3r · 26 Apr 2006 at 14:36

Hi. I got this card running at stock right now but i want to squeeze some more juice from it. The stats at stock are Engine 350Mhz DDR700MHZ.

I just want to know what everyone else has got their V9999GT's to if they have one and i would like to know a suitable overclock range for my system, its air cooled.

Many thanks

I had a 6800NU leadtek, basically the same card apart from it had 12 pipes (yours has 16). I ran it at 390/840 and it maxed out at 410/860

air cooling? what temps?

Raikiri · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:08

Air cooling, of course

Stock volts, no mods whatsoever and about 55c load / 40 idle

Hi, thanks for replying.

right now im at 401/802

Ran 3dmark03 seemed ok. Temps are pretty much normal 55degreesGPU and 49degreesRAM.

I hear this thing can go 1+ghz on the ram..should i try?

Unless they are running DDR3 they won't, i'm not sure if they do though.

The v9999gt does have gddr3

Then clock it some more

gam3r · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:34

hehe, what other tests can i do to make sure its stable at 401/802? Just to be sure before i clock it more..

I am pretty sure ATI tool now works with nvidia cards, although I dont know how well. If it displays the cube thing then thats an excellent test to find artifacts.

gam3r · 26 Apr 2006 at 15:51

I've had that before but i've never known what to actually do with it. Do i just sit and watch the cube or something?

BTW:700th post

Click scan for artifacts and leave it for 10 minutes, if the timer says 10 minutes (resets if there is an artifact)and 0 artifacts then the overclock should be fine.

Ok..Im off to try that. Thanks again matey

I shall report back soon..

EDIT: OK done it and i got no errors. I shall push on now. My next stop shall be 420/900.

Wish me luck

just push the core or memory one at a time so you know what caused the failure whan it happens

gam3r · 26 Apr 2006 at 17:16

is a gpu temp of 65degrees ok? mem is at 54degrees while running the artifact test

418/856

gam3r · 26 Apr 2006 at 17:58

awww, crap. It wont let me go futher than 418/857 as when i click "test" in my nvidia control pannel it tells me it failed to run at these frequences when i put the memory up to 870. Is there a way around this?

Im using coolbits btw to overclock through the nvidia panel.
