I have a BFG 7800 GT OC. I just overclocked my cpu to 4ghz so I figure why not do the video card too.
I enable cool bits, and i hit detect optimal settings. It picks 490 mhz and 1.18ghz for the memory. So after trying these settings I See artifacting, so I drop it down to 475 & 1.15.
Do you guys think this is a safe overclock? Can it be possible that I'm causing worse performance by doing this? I have the stock cooler and stuff... at these speeds 3dmark06 gives me SM2.0 of 1728, and HDR/SM3.0 of 1701.
Card specs:
BFG GeForce™ 7800 GT OC™ 256MB
>> PCI Express™
>> Memory 256MB GDDR3
>> Core Clock 425MHz (vs. 400MHz standard)
>> Memory Clock 1050MHz (vs. 1000MHz standard)
>> RAMDAC Dual 400MHz
>> Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 and lower, OpenGL 2.0 and lower for
Microsoft® Windows®
>> Connectors: Dual DVI-I, HDTV, VIVO
>> 850 million vertices/sec.
>> 33.6GB/second memory bandwidth
