hey guys, i have a big problem with my 6800GT, the core will only @ 365MHzmemory @ 1150MHz
i heard on the new GT's is the core-clock locked ?!
new bios or is this core shitty ?

def try a new bios!
what manufacturer?
Point of View
thats a good clock, yours was speedbinned as not making ultra clocks

well there are cards out there that run 470+ with the same cooling (evga 6800 ultra extreme edition) and i cant really imagine that some gpus clock to almost 500 and his doesnt even reach 400.
it could of course be, but 365 sounds a bit weird to me. i think its oc protected somehow.
stephan, can you get some additional card cooling and see if it has any efect on the max oc? if you can get 370 with better cooling (cold air from ice cubes or fresh air from outside) then its not a lock.
do you have a waterblock you could use?
have you tried giving it a voltage boost yet?
For those of you about to post:
Yea, its deffinitly not normal. Did you checked if your HSF is attached properly?
And what is it doing when you go over? Crash? Aritfacts? Wierd screen?
sounds very much like an oc lock. Ive heard of GT's doing 410(not much, but way over 365) stock.

no effect
hummmmmm thats weird indeed.
id say its a lock then... did lardarse reply yet?
maybe you just got a bad card? personally never heard of Point of view.
msi k8n neo2 plat
3200+ winchester (10x262)
bfg 6800gt
pdp pc3200 xbl
thermalright xp-90 w/7v tornado 92mm
i did, they were the first to release 6800u cards and the first to sell them.
This is gonna crap then..
Maybe try the 6800 Ultra bios??
Lardarse had someone mod the 6800 ultra bios a few weeks back.
The modded bios is somewhere in these forums.
Just search up Lardarse & you should be able to find the bios.
Make sure you back up your bios first & then flash.
Hopefully it's just a bios lock.

noooooooooo...
I was going to go 6800 GT over X800 in hopes of better OC scaling... but....
if it was clocked lock, it would not overclock 1MHz, if you try to overclock and click apply, the clock sliders will just jump back to stock. I speak from experience with my fx5200 that I needed to use coolbits hack to oc. probably just got a not so great overclocker. if you must have more oc, just sell yours and buy another, I went thru 6 ti4200s

Where did you get the card form?
Still waiting for my PoV 6800GT
there are also locked cards that let you oc ~10mhz and then start to artifact like crazy or crash.Originally posted by Geforce4ti4200

im also speaking out of expirience, had a 9600NP and a 9100, both from club3d, and with a new bios the cards oced fine.

Yeah, theres more then one kind of lock.... Its probably a BIOS hack that they made, so at the first MHz bump, its unstable since the BIOS dont support it. And probably he needed more then 1MHz before that the unstability was visible.
And why did you got 6 TI4600's?????? that quite dum, instead of buying one top notch card.........
yeah maybe they set the max clocks a bit higher at 365 because of termal throttling? the gpu adjusts its core freq afaik, could be that it accidently sets it to a few mhz above the default clock for a part of a sec sometimes, and to provide full stbility they set the lock to 365mhz to prevent the card from gwtting unstable or crashing.Originally posted by skate2snow
