****The Official 7900 overclocking thread****

Hmm any suggestions? My nforce drivers are: nForce4_x16_6.82_winxp2k_international.exe
So they are ~3 months old... <== reason for slownes ?
programs running: 38 <== the usuall antivirus, firewalls, ect ect
 
Have you made sure that in the gfx card driver settings you have disabled AA and AF and have it set to performance rather than quality?

Tried that. Got the usual 99xx marks result. Im wondering here one thing, could this affect the performance: My mb ASUS A8N SLI32. I havent pluged the ez-plug "thingie" on. If I correctly remember thats recomended to use when running SLI, no mention about single card (and again if I correctly remember) Could this hinder the cards performance/OC ability?

Yesterday night i got 10500 score on the 3d05 whitout no OC the card... but that was one time miracle.

Someone suggested me to OC the CPU more, that this could give some boost.
Problem is I cant find the standard HT multiplier thingie in the bios...
(well I know where those are but can someone help me whit this:)
K8-NB Freguency set [AUTO] Possible sets multipliers 1-8
K8-NB LinkWidth set [AUTO] Possible sets 8 down 8 up and 16 down 16 up

SB-NB Freguency set [2x] Possible sets multipliers 1-8
SB-NB LinkWidth set [16down 16up] Possible sets 4 4 8 8 and 16 16

So if i want my HT multiplier down from "standard" 5 to 4 what the *sencored* I need to do. =) Not really the right place to ask this question but still it correlates whit the card and the results in 3dmark05 so... =)

Thank You all in advance for your responces. (not the "what a n00b" ones ) ;)

Well i received my Club 3D 7900 GTX card yeasterday.
Stock speeds 650/800. Used coolbits to OC.
the max that i have found is 694 for the core and 840 for the mem. So i went from 650/1600 to 694/1680 I had to say Im really dissapointed for the memory :( The 3dmark05 went from 9913 to 10073 =P That 160 points increase...
The rig is: 4400+@4800+ (220FSB) 2gigs of corsairs 3500LLPRO and the GPU as stated above. The drivers were 84.21 So any suggestions what to do whit card, how to get a "litle" more out of it. My goal at the start was 11000+ =P


694/840MHz
CS:S 1280x1024 4xAA 16xAF = 167 FPS
CS:S 1600x1200 4xAA 16xAF = 158 FPS

Its a Club3D send it back! :p Well not so bad but Club3D are only a Tier2 partner which means they don't actually get their GPU's/Cards from NVIDIA they buy from TIER1 partners such as BFG/XFX etc. who will no doubt sell them the nasty stuff that does not clock so well.......However you system should be doing better, try a fresh install with different drivers. :)
 
PSU: 580W Tagan
Ad-aware came clean and the newest drivers for mb are Version: 6.85, currently running 6.82 Tried to OC the CPU alitle more but no go there. BTW whicth do I belive the cpuz saying that my vcore is 1.457, or asus probe II saying its 1.44 or bios where its set to be 1.485... =D Next plan is to make a clean install in the coming week, clean up some HD first ;) But really is this "normal"
whit a 4800+ class CPU 2 gigs of Corsair LLPRO CPU/MEM 1:1 (220FSB) and default 7900 GTX 9912-10074 points? (even whit OC 650@690MHz 800@840MHz
Damm that memory, I would be happy whit the 690 core (but really wondering
that OC the core approcimately 6.2% gains only 1.6% in points 3dmark05 =/)

try a reinstall and go from there
 
What happened to this thread??

Anyway i got my ocuk 7900gt today along with a vf-900. Im amazed how much this card can be overclocked!

Using coolbits i can reach 560 max on the core, and 809 (1618) on the memory, and thats not even the highest the memory can go, thats just the highest coolbits will go!
Excellent value for money, and im saying that going from a 7800gt.

Now im going to have another go using rivatuner.

hey great mate, :) they do clock fantastic.

me? I have been to busy playing oblivion maxed out! :D
 
I haven't TBH I installed it and have just been playing with it.At stock oblivion plays fine maxed out both indoors and out.

I will check and record FPS with fraps when I can be bothered.

This game rocks. :D

You will be pleased with your 7900 GT

what 3d marks are you getting?
 
At 560/1618, i got around 9600. Thats with a 3700+ at 2.65ghz.

Im also going to be playing oblivion when it gets delivered, at 1650x1050 :eek: hope my rig can take it, i wont be upgrading anything for a long time now :D
 
I already have it :) . Its a great cooler, during 3dmark05 it goes up to 46 degrees (and my room is warm today) and 39 degrees idle.

Btw, how exactly do i use rivatuner? Ive just installed it, but i cant find any overclocking options or anything :confused: even though ive used it before

don't think riva tuner supports the 7900 GT/GTX yet but don't quote me on that.
