i have the geforce tweaker and i was wondering how high to actually set the core clock and memory clock speed?
core clock is default 200
and memory is default 334
This is the first time i have ever tried to overclock my video card so i really dont know what i am doing.

I got mine at 220/362 with no problems.
It was an el'cheapo Jaton card that came with a HUGE
heatsink, but no fan. So I put a 60mm fan on it.
I have run a little higher at times (225-230/370-380 or so), but
tend to start getting icon corruption and other problems,
especially if I start playing with the FSB for some reason.
You should get the RivaTuner program. It is just about the
only one that seems to OC this card correctly. (Some versions
of NvMax seemed to do ok also...)
I would also recommend you install the 22.40 drivers.
Seem to work the fastest and most stable for me.
u can overclock both core and memory till you see artifacts and color corruption in the rendered images. generally these r what youll get when the frequencies r too high. the artifacts r most common for the core frequencie and the colors corruption for the memory.
its important to test them using some intensive 3d app, one that uses your video card abilities; some directx 7 one. you can try out using 3dmark 2000 and pay attention to the fog and reflections, artifacts etc.

Did you get it oc'ed well? I too have the verto MX 400. If you did let me know what you did, what works best and if you've noticed any improvement.
