Ok this is my first time oc'ing a vid card and I have a few questions. I did a few 3dmark06 test while looking for max oc and here are the results:
x1900gt rev.2
Stock: 513/657 3dmark:4514
OC 1: 567/657 3dmark:4738
OC 2: 567/702 3dmark:4837
OC 3: 580/720 3dmark:4797
3dmark06 settings were 1280x1024 no AA Optimal filtering
I want to know how I got a lower score on OC 3 with higher core and mem speeds? How are the find max core/max mem test in ATI tool supposed to work? When I try them it just raised the clock's about4-11mhz at a time till the card crashes and screen goes black. Am I supposed to abort when I think its to high or is it supposed to stop itself? The rig in question is the one in my avatar. Does my E6400 at stock speeds pose as a bottle neck?
