What do you clock your graphics card to?

I've just setup the Waterchill VGA block, and I can get my XT to 490/418 - I'm not 100% what the limitations are, but this just starts to produce artifacts in 3dmark.

Any ideas?
 
humm.. should be able to get better than that

I have got mine 510/434 using the Waterchill VGA block. I think I may have used some ice in that as well and a 19l water container.. :D

wow thats pretty damn nice epic, and Brw, ures is better than mine :P

I couldnt get my core above 415 without serious artifects. and it wudt play farcry at this, i had to put it back to arround 390-400, my memory seemed good tho, that went to about 380, i only used 415/375 for aqumark scores, i played games with it at about 390/360
 
I got a 9800pro that does 459/379,artifact free,its an excaliber/his,i just did the full suite of volt-mods on it(unbenched since mods though).Can't wait to hook it up with my new 3.2+mach2,hoping for 23/24k in 3dm01.
 
well. a little update for tonight, managed to get 500/400 artifact free. Still disappointing results in 3dmark though, I guess its because I'm only running at 245FSB at the mo with this 3.0C.

what card did you have. 9800 pro??

Have you see PCF this month. nvidia 6800 review :D
 
Ok now i am serious thinking of doing both the volt mods on my raddy for the vdimm and vcore...

they look very easy.

can i get some extra juice out of my gfx and still cooling it with my arctic cooler vga silencer?
 
hmmm i would be inclined to go for water cooling mate, tho the silencer is still quite good, id also get some ramsinks for the memory chips (if u aint already) as for the volt mod im unsure, lots of cards overclock really nicely without it, seems u and me both got stuck with the earlier revision of the 9800Pro?
 
thats the ones i was thinking of, just couldnt remember the name, on my Pro i was using ally coolermasters, which were ok but would of prefer copper :)

yes.

i got my raddy 9800pro when they came out by sending back my crucial 9700pro and asking for the 9800pro and paying for the difference.

i am sure its a bad clocker cos its one of the early ones as you said.

i do have coolermaster copper sinks as well stuck on my bga ram but afaik ramsinks on bga ram do nothing at all...

Must be a real bad card mate as before modding with a vga silencer and tweakmonster ramsinks my deal of the week 9800pro(R360 core)

did 430/370 and after 460/380 and that's 24/7.

This is my first post here too,I'm sure some of you have see me somewhere else as Legion tho!

welcome legion, i belive i had the R320, this sound right? very early 9800Pro and it sucked :P

I thought all 9800's had at least an R350 core and thx for the welcome!
