How do I know if my video card is running at its best?

DareMe55 · Sep 8, 2007

How can I see the core clock/memory clock.... because with some programs im seeing some weird numbers... in the 100 range, where as this is supposed to be 500/1600

I have an 8800gts 640

Check it out with everest... but there's no reason the clock shouldn't be correct... unless you underclocked it...

What are these "some programs" that you speak of? :eh?:

DareMe55 · Sep 8, 2007

nvidia monitorview:
core 513
memory 792

VGA Memory Clock 297.0 MHz
VGA Core Clock 108.0 MHz

3d mark does that for me too, don't trust that

Rivatuner gives a nice graph like display for clocks as well as temps etc. which work well (at least for me).

corsair 620w

its at 513/1584, where it should be 500/1700

btw, this is the card I got back from RMA, the first was DOA.

Link goes to Super Clocked GTS. (576/1600)

Just OC it using RivaTuner to those specs and it should be fine.

I ugh, kinda don't know how to overclock.

Rivatuner, just make sure you use a 3D app. as you measure the core clock as to get the 3D and not 2D speed (only applies if you OC it).

Simple simple, just test for artifacts and measure the temps. It should be fine though.

Well you see the Mayans believed that...

Sigh... If you're happy with the way games are running on your video card... Then your video card is running at it's best.

RivaTuner 2.02 (2.03 is a bit buggy).
