no, with standart cooling and standart Volts, some days later i think i create Vmod

Paradox, i think you score is very low because the problem to you PC is CPU ! I have lower Mhz to Core and Mem but i get higher results !

I know, just replaced it with a e6300@3.2ghz Sold the card awhile back though, bought this
2600XT and have not looked back...

I had 1.7v going into the core and 2.5v into the memory, aye, voltmoded.

3DMark05: 11151 3DMarks
3DMark06: 5596 3DMarks
MSI 8600GT (Model# NX8600GT-T2D256EZ)
Stock: 540/700/1400
Overclock: 660/850/1800 (Flashed a custom BIOS)
Temps: 39C Idle/51C Load
CPU: Intel E6300 (Running at 2097.91mhz using SetFSB because of mobo limitations)

I tried volt modding the card with VRs and it failed...miserably and almost killed the card. I have the card back to the Overclock settings, but now there are little yellow dots when I check for artifacts no matter what I have the clocks set too. ATITool doesn't pick them up as artifacts though.

EDIT: I raised the video clocks as well as the CPU clocks.

My final clocks are 667/866/1100 via BIOS flash.

hercules71185 · Oct 19, 2007

ok I got a new motherboard and that helped out A LOT!!!!!! I think before I overclocked it bogged down.. Now its effective! My 3dmark05 went to 11,000 now and my aquamark3 didn't go up much but, still did to 101,000
1 more question whats the easiest way to do screenshots? I do them but, never the easy way. I print screen open up microsoft word, save as web page.. open web page and rick click picture and save as the name I want. in games all I do is use fraps and hit f10 and its fine.. any easy way while on the desktop?

Noob asking for help

Hi, ive just purchased a Gigabyte Geforce 8600GT (GV-NX86T256H) and ive installed Ntune and see that the stock frequencies are at 600/720.

Can someone plz advise me what safe frequencies i can bump the above to? (ie. without any special cooling equipment etc, just purely using the stock fan the card came with)

thank you very much in advance

hat · Nov 28, 2007

Stock cooling is fine as long as you don't overvolt. You'll have to determine the clocks for yourself as no 2 cards are different. Do it one part at a time. Clock the core until it's unstable, back it down by 5MHz until it is stable again. Then back it down 10MHz. Same for mem. Find a nice comfortable number.

sheep · Nov 28, 2007

Noob again

sorry for asking stupid questoins... how will i keep track of the stability.... by looking at the temp?

also how high should i slide them before starting to back them down again? (i.e 600 to +/-650 and 720 to +/-840 ?)

run 3dmark05 a couple times and watch for artifacts

XFX 8600 GT Extreme ZM 600M SLi

wrote my own bios as following: Core: 700 Shader: 1836 Memory: 1800

much better performance than stock shader multi at 750 core, which was 750/1540, it seems the shaders make a huge difference.

im planning a vmod very soon to get 800+ on the core and 2ghz+ on the shaders

scores 10,775 06' 3dmarks in SLi, 6,682 in sinlge card mode, and 320fps in Lightsmark2007

pics to back up 3dmark scores if u want em.
