Adjusting RivaTuner's maximum clock setting (Shader clock, 8800GTS)

[sir_pyro]

Just updated my drivers and turned on shader clock adjustment on RivaTuner to test out the limits of my card in each domain, and I need to be able to set the Shader domain clock higher then current max of 1785 on the slider. Any ideas how to set this higher?

I'm also finding that my memory is needing more volts again... Maxing out at ~900 without any errors at all.... "runable" at 1044 still though....

Do NOT use ATi Tool to scan for artifacts! Run 3Dmark06 instead.

can you only adjust shaders on A3's?

729 core is sick, so is your shader speed. my a2 tops out at 648 :(

I would like to know what is wrong with ATi Tool. It loads a GFX card way more than 3DMark. It is like prime for a GPU.

@OP do you have volt mods to get it going that fast? That is simply insane! What kind of cooling you have on it?

Your cpu is at 4.187 ghz on that run , what cooling are you using?

Something has to be up with your card though, I ran 3.78 and am 75 points off of your score and I ran my card at 676/1067.

I want to v mod mine now and see where it can go.

The CPU isnt actually THAT fast... I guess it would be if I was running a 9x multiplier, but I'm running it at 8x. 3dmark 06 and Vista don't always get along that well.

The card is just an EVGA 8800 GTS 640mb with MCW60 cooling and a few fans I turn on to cool the memory just when benching. Slight volt mod on the memory, nothing on the CPU. I did figure out how to adjust it, but not in any fine detail... I can ether set it up like above, or set it where I can run it all the way to 4ghz. Not really an issue on a card with steps on the clocks, but would be annoying on an ATI card. Good news is I got the shader up to 1944 3dmark06 stable :). 1890 ATI tool stable...

Oh, and this card was at one point able to run 3dmark06 at 756 mhz rop with some additional cooling (bag of ice sitting on top of card, huge fans blowing into the case from the AC), but I really need more volts.

Oh, and I use ATI tool first because 3dmark with run when ATI tool is pitching a absolute fit (on this card at least), so if it's ATI tool stable it tends to be 3dmark stable.

I assume you did tyhe pencil mod to the card for the mem.
Thats what I just figured out, I printed the inst. so I cam try and get it sometime this weekend. I get 1067 now (2137) stable but I want 1100 - 1150 stable (2200-2300) and I figuerwe I can run it with the cpu at 4ghz and get a 14k+, (hoping).... I dont get past 71c on my heaviest OC so far with stock cooling, so I see no need to up the cooling at this point. Ill monitor with the vmod and watch it...

How did the vmod work for you? Do I just use a #3 pencil and scribble on the back of that little diode/resistor/?/Something thing.
