The memory is actually 2GHz, but the interface can't handle the speed for long periods. This has been tested by Nvidia, their OEM's and some partners over several weeks. The card will run like a bat out of hell for a while and then suffers irrepairable damage.

I would only crank the memory up to 2GHz plus to get a killer benchmark and then crank it back down to 1900~1950MHz for day to day use.

Hey dinos could you test with high shader/core clocks and mem sub 1Ghz to see if maybe the so called damage is hindering the cards. G80 series cards aren't that bandwidth starved are they?

how long did it take to do all that :rofl:
yay for aussie commitment :)

What ocing tool did you use to oc the second card? Rivatuner's ocing area is greyed out for the second card :(

u can't independently OC these cards

i use rivatuner or ATItool

It makes sense that they would probably have the same clock speeds..

only with + 200mhz cpu (from 3600mzh to 3800mhz) = + 800 marks ????????????


and then when you overclock the CPU from 3800mhz to 3960mhz + OC cards from 700Mhz to 720Mhz = only +550 marks ????????


btw: nice scores :up:



regards

yeah CPU MHz hungry :D

@dinos22 good clock. My Q6600 g0 3936 MHZ air, 2900 PRO CF Stock cooler 3D2006: 20542 :)

good work

it doesn't mention what clocks you were running on the cards and whether you had set vcore/vdimm any higher on the GFX than what stock options are

600/900 and 3600 = 66k+
Very impressive :clap:
