600 misere pts that can be achived with overclock

TUngsten · Aug 3, 2007, 04:44 PM

mm a 5% increase. Did it cost 5% more?

ktr · Aug 3, 2007, 04:45 PM

Live OR Die · Aug 3, 2007, 05:10 PM

well the Ultra cost $1070 aus and the Ultra XXX $1300 and tried ocing the ultra would'nt go over 650Mhz core with out errors

xxx=better core

I hate when tpu members pick on people with high end stuff

Live OR Die · Aug 4, 2007, 12:19 PM

the OC on the XXX is about the same as the Ultra can't realy get much more out of it i managed core 685Mhz to 695Mhz men 1150Mhz to 1165Mhz maybe to reach higher clocks with watercooling

hat · Aug 4, 2007, 12:29 PM

You should get some good cooling for it. Wait for the Zalman VF1000 to appear and slap that on wlong with some MX-1... flash bios with more volts... I wanna see 800MHz core and 2.5GHz mem from you...

TBH m8, all of these XXX / OC / SuperCharged etc etc editions are a waste of money!

They charge an extra £30 on top of the standard price, and all they do is increase the clocks, which is something you can do manually for FREE

Agree totally...but sometimes, on that rare occasion, they increase the voltage also to acheive higher clocks, if you can get one of them without paying too much of a premium it's worth it IMO.

Noone was picking on anyone, just noting that he spent 300 more dollars an a card that was only preoverclocked from the factory. IMO that is a waste of money.. but he got the card for free, so it's all good.

It probably would if you create a BIOS for it that changed the shader clocks etc

Maybe what I said isnt true for all cards then just most of them. For example, my 7950GT OC is sold for £30 more than the standard 7950GT, yet it is only overclocked by 3%, what a waste of money!

EDIT: sorry, double post
