SINasTER Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) Hi all... I am in search a a little more juice from my rig and I need help with some OCing! I have a brand spanking new BFG7800GSOC 256Mb GDDR3 AGP and I just hit a wall when I try to overclock it!Using the nVidia driver 84.43 and the OC utility in it I was able to get:480mhz core clock!!1300mhz mem clock!!Now the problem is that I know that the card can go much higher than this, I talked to somebody that a guy OCed his card up to500mhz core clock1400mhz mem clockBut since the guy in question dont know how his friend OCed it Im stuck!If I try to push it further the nVidia utility doesnt pass the test and immediately returns to the old setings...Now... Should I try jacking up the AGP frequency or voltage to be able to go further with the OCing of my BFG or Im am stuck there?? Same thing with CPU and RAM but got a pretty good OC on those so Im satisfied (for the moment )PLEASE SHOW ME THE PATH!!!

noguru Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 a little emphasis:not all hardware overclocks the same!!!!!!!i could get my cpu to 4ghz and thatl mean squat for yours.Exactly, perhaps you already reached your card's limits. Pushing it further could damage your brand new very nice videocard. Be carefull! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 The core looks to be about right, but for the memory, I think the other person might have had an aftermarket heatsink that's more effective, so he is able to achieve a higher OC that is stable.

Hell, I'll see what I can do and if I fry it, well... I got a nice little waranty that covers it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
