Auto Overclock a Joke?

[jmh547]

I finaly got my zalman 700cu on my new video card. i ran 3dmark05 and got 7131. I then put on nvidias "Auto Overclocking" and got a wopping 5532? i then took off the auto overclocking and once again got in the 7100's. Did anyone actually get this to work?

not sure, i never use that anyway. The only auto overclock i've ever used is ATITool (works for NV cards as well BTW)

The ATI toolis first class, but i didn't know it worked on Nvidia cards. If that's the case, there is no reason to use anything else.

How exactly you use it for Nvidia...just let it check for max core and mem?

Yeah a certain version of it supports nvidia cards i'll look for it.

EDIT: here you go, .25 beta 14:

i've used it a number of times, all it does is run some quick tests at different clock speeds to see if they pass the internal test. there's no reason it would decrease your score unless your card hated to be overclocked or you were doing something terribly wrong.
