6800GT overclocks

[BullBear]

Does anyone have any experience with overclocking a 6800GT. Mine is a Point of view. I haven't tried overclocking it yet... but I do want to know what to expect. The card only has one power connector so I think this might be a limiting factor, it has its own power line though. My PSU is a themrlatake butterfly 480W (should be enough).

Well I think I have the worst of the bunch It seems like most will hit Ultra speeds (400/1100), but mine isn't even close. Tried the core twice at 375MHz and it locked in 3D Haven't bothered trying lower yet (or the memory) as it's so piss-poor. Btw, it is PNY made.

Hope you have better luck with yours

400/1025-430/1150 depending on rig and other factors.

I had a Chaintech 6800GT that ran 435-1100 Stock cooler, stock v.

Pretty nice looking card too.

My eVGA with 1.4 volt bios and NV silencer 5 will run 440/1200, but its not 100% stable, just benches. I run it 420/1150 day to day.

Should of gotten Gainward Golden Sample. It does 400/1100 just like Ultra model right out of the box. Research helps alot.

you dont need a crappy gainward there for noobs like thermaltake
twilius basic sounds like u need a new psu

They overcharge a L O T!

This man speaks truth. I only paid $350 for my eVGA and it does quite well.

My MSI runs @ 420/1120 for everyday use, fan speed set at low...
Shuttles 250W psu is enough for it

[berkut]

440/1200 air cooled

[gaddster]

^ what he just said

[bacon]

stock sink with stock 1.3v bios

432/1.15

tho i run at 400/1100 day to day

PNY VERTIGO 6800GT
stock volts - stock cooler
400/1100 for 24/7 use

for benching even more.

My EVGA would only do 370/1100 at stock settings. Upping the voltage to 1.4 got me to 400/1100 and putting a Danger Den NV-68 block on it got me to 460/1200. That's a 100% stable speed, I can do 473ish/1230-1250 for a bench run but I get artifacting.

Not all of us have lots of extra $$ to blow

My 2-yr-old Antec TP 430W not enough? Great, MORE money down this rat-hole

Of course not, you need a Shuttle cube 250W minimum. :P

PNY verto 6800 GT:
445/1150 with bios 1.4v mod

Asus V9999 gamer's edition 6800nu:
434/1100 with bios/soft mod , 16x1,6vp

temps are remarkably good 56c idle

[QuadDamage]

XFX GT at 430/1175 for 24/7 but will do 445/1225 for benching stock cooled. The best one i had was a PCI-E reference design from nVidia that could do 450/1230 out of the box.

:P, it does a hell of a job though, don't u think ?

Could you send your BIOS? I have V9999GE too and problems getting it working over 400/1100 16/6. Got OCZ 520W and getting lockups, disabled all throttling/internal clock tests with rivatuner.

haha, gainward golden sample cards are very good overclockers Higher stocks speeds and higher overclocked speeds.

Im looking to get a 6800GT for my a64 939 shuttle. Would have to be a 'one slot design' card. Either the gainward one slot card, asus gamers edition if I can find either of them.

Heard Fortron actually are the once building them so it doesn't surprise me.
