am overclocking ma evga 6800gs 256mb.......

i overcclocked it to 427/1192 from 400/1100 ........ nd the temp while running 3dmark05 goes upto a max of 76-77.....

got a max score of 5277.....

ma config is....

amd 2800+ 64bit
1gb ram
asus k8n mobo

now the prob is that...... i cant overclock it any further...(am using rivatuner)..

if i increase the core or memory frequency anymore rivatuner tells that the driver failed the test nd to reduce the frequency.......sometimes if i try testing a particular frequency a few times it works but with no significant results.....

i tried changing the drivers too...... was using 92.91...... switched to the latest....... nd then to the once that came with the card....... no use.....

so guys .... cant i overclock anymore ????? :(

I suggest you to get better cooling fer your card. Sometimes, stability issues can cause such a bottleneck .

Try Powerstrip. Its a very powerful video utility. I think it might enable you to overclock more than what you can now.

Caution: Exercise extreme caution.

Yes ...
Get Powerstrip... Though it is a shareware, but you can surely overclock during the trial period...

ya..... powerstrip allows to raise the frequencies higher...( since it doesnt test the frequencies bfore applying which rivatuner does ).....

but i get artifacts....... nd temp goes higher....... i guess if i could control the temp i could overclock more......

so guys...... r there any good water cooling kits available in india...... in cochin(kerala) maybe ?????

nd if yes...... how much would it cost ????

Use Riva tuner.get the latest version off the net.That should help you.
