OC it .. the core should easily manage 500 MHz , RAM maybe maxed at 450 (i hope not) ..

woow, currently both are running at 350hz.

i haven't OCed it yet, however i have enabled MSI's DOT( dynamic overclocking technology) to general.
the card runs at about temp of 55C(after playing fear for 2hrs).is that normal?

also, since the card does not have a fan type of cooler, i havent' tried OCing.

however,there are two stratigically placed fans which are at the sides of the cabinet, above the gfx card, and hence maybe it's running cool at general setting in DOT(assuming 55C after playing fear for about 2hrs is normal.)

Well 55 degs at full load is good....OC it ...it should easily do 450Mhz on core...or maybe even 500MHz....go ahead and OC it till its 65-70degs at load... :D

Rs 5000
i bought a heatsink cooled version, hence costlier.
