Use Riva Tuner to overclock ur gfx card that they provide the safer limits of ur card..

Check *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=96442&page=4

got the rivatuner and tried to overclock but still memory clocks wont go higher!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 than 450mhz game crashes

How are you over clocking the card..?? Are you just setting new setting, and then playing the game...??

I would suggest, to use ATI Tools (it is compatible with nVidia cards). Increase the core/memory setting 10 notches at a time, and scan for artifacts..for ten minutes..after each increment. Your shader clock should move respectively on its own, since it is linked. Once you get artifacts, come back down a notch at a time. Safe this profile..and GAME ON...!

DONT try to Overclock XFX 8600s unless you check the at what temperature they are running. If they run above 80C then don't even think about Overclocking.

well, try reinstalling the drivers along with the rivatuner. and may be, as you have DDR2 version of 8600, thats why, u arent able to overclock that higher.

That's no point, check the link I've given, there u;ll see they are using DDR2 512mb versions!!!

Whats no point?
The link u've given constitutes only one post for 8600GT!! And thats too yours!!

I just said him to try reinstalling the drivers OA.
and btw, DDR2 versions arent mean for overclocking. And even if somehow it does, then they wont attain higher clocks.

Well... The 8600GT that too DDR2 version is not exactly and overclock-friendly card AFAIK. Thats my 2 cents. :neutral:

Hmm, and it overheats(I've heard of Electric Stove Edition) so be happy wid it's performance, and later upgrade when u really need it

well guys thnx for reply but isnt maybe my psu the cause of the problem............ i only have a 450w psu bundled alongwith the zebronics lava pc case????????????? yes and my card is not even exceeding temps of 70 degree celcius

well, may be or may be not. Coz, u said that Core overclocked quite well. right? so, thats enough for the psu thing.
And for temps, yes its a good thing that it isnt crossing 70.
I say, stay with the card as long as it serves you my frnd and then dump it for a good replacement.

Ya, dont worry OC'ing it. 8600GTs suck at OC'ing.

Add to that their temps. Its good you arent getting high temps.

then can you recommend a good board and gfx card for 10k on which i can at least all Latest games like crysis warhead ............... and find it in delhi....

what you can do is save on the mobo right now and keep the 945 which you have. It can be upgraded later. Spend all the 10k on the card.

Get a Palit HD4850 512MB GDDR3 for 9.5k ......... awesome card. Will play Crysis Warhead @ Very High settings at a resolution of 1440x900

.

If you want a cheap board, look at the XFX 630i for 3.4k.

But, whatever you do, dont miss out on the HD4850. Its an awesome card and will serve you well

hey i am getting a 9800gt from malaysia and buying a intel p35/x38 asus board...

Instead get a Palit HD4850 from Malaysia... that wouldnt hardly make any diff in purchasing a HD instead of worthless 98GT....

ASUS -> Good choice....

awesome!!!
THe 9800GT is just 8-11% slower than the HD4850.

Buy a MSI P35 Neo-F. Nice board coupled with an amazing card = terrific gaming

Worthless ?? No fukking way!!!! Its as good as a HD4850 and if you OC it, it will match the HD4850.

ASUS -->> Teriffic performance BUT at a premium
MSI -->> VFM (Value for Money)

d00d I dont wanna get into an arguement with you as I know you are a good, friendly guy who posts sensible stuff but I aint a fanboi.

MSI provides bang for the buck while ASUS only provides a bang albeit a bigger one

but they are less VFM.....

guess I will leave it for guys like comp@ddict, desiibond and imgame2 to make you understand why I always suggest MSI boards to people on a hunt for VFM.

I just kidding say that u r a fanboi...

Here, he say that he get a ASUS x48,p35 mobo from Malaysia... Is there any point we advice him not to buy a Mobo which is somewhat a better than this...

Arguement over.......go for the ASUS P5K (P35 based) or the ASUS P5Q (P45 based) .... whatever falls under your budget. Happy ?

I stil thing P45 based mobo wud be better......

And Don't spend on any new gfx card right now, wait for the new HD 4830, and see, cause it'll be priced lesser I guee than 9800GT, but surely similar performance is what is esxpected...

And ya, if 9800GT OC performs like 4850, then what will 4850 OC do?

Simple........will perform better than 9800GT OC

.

I think HD4830 will perform a notch lower than the 9800GT....... but that is just an approximation.

Yes, HD 4830 is supposedly wid 480SPs, nearly half of 4850, I hope the performance doens't get halved!!!loloz

and BTW-Why only H.A.T.E.?
