Hey guys, I want squeeze out a little extra juice from my XFX GF 6800 128MB card. How much do you think I can overclock the memory and core? I also plan to use RivaTuner to unlock the 4 pipelines and 1 vertex shader, have any of you used it before, is it any good? Thanks.
The stock speeds of that card is 325MHz/700MHz so you may be able to get it to around 350/740 ok. But it does depend on the individual card.
As for overclocking i would Google it and search for other people's overclocking experiences as per your card/model/manufacturer.. e.t.c You can usually find a rough idea as to what you can expect, but as is the same with any overclocking - don't just crank it up and hope it works as you can damage your card, if not fry/break it. So take it in small steps, and test each small overclock with all the standard benchmarks for overclocking - 3Dmark03/05 Personally i can't see any good reason except for having a benchmarking ego (ie: i have to beat someone else's score..) to bother overclocking this card yet let alone open up the extra pipelines and vertex shaders - their's no need even with high end games such as Doom3 or HL2 set at max..
