Can everyone post what GPU your running and at what shader clocks? I think this will be of value to many of us.

Example: 8800GTX @ 1551

2 8800 GTS 640mb @ 1500

Heres the cards I know off hand.

BFG GTX285 @ 1727
8800GTX @ 1551
8800GT (G92) @ 1704

gtx260 216 1464

8800GT @ 1850

4x 8800GTS (G92) @ 1890
4x 8800GT (G92) @ 1838
GTX285 @ 1548 (stock)

4x 9600 gso 96 sp, 1728 mhz, but they run hot at around 75C each, about 3700-4000 ppd average.

when im not around i run them around 1620 mhz because i don't want to leave my windows open. don't know what the exact shader strap its on, but they run a little cooler.

Edward clearly has the shader straps down, but posting here to help others. If you're at say, 1564 for example, it's really only 1512. So no reason to push farther if you can't reach the next strap

shader straps:

1242
1296
1350
1404
1458
1512
1566
1620
1674
1728
1782
1836
1890
1944
1998
2052
2106
2160
2214

I have a couple 9600GSO's that I"m running at 1836 so far, haven't pushed them any farther

note: F38 shader settings less than max and memory underclocked to keep squeal volume tolerable.

PNY 9800GT 512MB - 1728MHz shaders
1782 is stable but any higher and gaming crashes. I keep it at 1728 for temps, though.

cw823, are the shader straps you listed just for the 8xxx and 9xxx series cards? The reason I ask is that I was playing with my GTX285 tonight, and here are the shader straps as read by RivaTuner: 1548, 1584, 1620, and 1656.

GTX 285 @ 1620 78c

GTX 260 @ 1512 66c

GTS 250 @ 1944 71c
9800GTX+ @ 1944 66c
9800GTX @ 1998 63c

9800 GT @ 1620 76c (hot where it is)
9600GSO @ stock (roommates dell)

GTX 285 @ 1620 78c :bang head

GTX 260 @ 1512 66c right now, its at work and its cool there.

GTS 250 @ stock 76c (it is in the middle of the 3 cards :bang head)
9800GTX+ @ 1890 68c (runs fine at 1998 but every now and then it EUE's out even at 1944 so trying 1890)
9800GTX @ 1998 63c (seems to be the best of the 3! go 65nm! except the dummy plugs don't work on it??)

9600GSO and 9800GT are @ stock 72c... it is too hot i guess!

A couple of mine are in the low 70s, someone(cw823 maybe?) had posted about dropping back the core clock to lower temps.

8800GTS (G92) 512MB at 1944MHz. Running at a cool 35°C according to riva tuner.

9800 GT 1800

PNY 8800GT @ 1674

9600gt (1) - 1900
9600gt (2) - 1650

Do I feel a chart coming on?

Right. Increasing or decreasing the core clock will hardly effect folding, and the core is responsible for most of heat. Therefore, decreasing the core clock will reduce temps a lot, while impacting folding a little.

So if the heat that your card is producing is keeping your from overclocking your shaders more, then drop your core clock back and crack up the much more valuable shader clock.

palit 9800GT 1GB @ 1728 & 44C
palit 9800GT 512 @ 1728 & 44C
Inno 8800GT 512 @ 1625 & 65C
Giga 8800GT 256 @ 1728 & 55C

EVGA GTX260 896mb @1512 & 52c
EVGA 8800GT 512mb @1782 & 69c
EVGA 8800GT 512mb @1782 & 65c
ASUS 8800GT 256mb @1782
EVGA 8800GS 384mb @1674 & 64c

I have mine at stock atm but i have had them to 1620 unlinked

8800gt @ 1800

How far can you drop the core before you see a production hit?

9800 GX2s @ 1782
GTX 295s @ 1404

Looking at what CW has listed though, I think I'm going to try bumping my GX2s.

How far can you drop the core before you see a production hit?


IIRC, about 500 on the core, depends on the card. On a 8800gt I think that[at one time] I had dropped it to 500 without performance issues., but yielding noticeable temp drops. Everything in my farm has been change since then, I need to go through my all GPU's settings & lower the core, since ambient temps here are on the rise.

I always run mine stock. Fan on 70-75% depending on ambient.

8800gt @ 1890

GTX295 x 6 : 1512
GTX260: 1458
GTX260: 1404
9800GTX x 2: 1998

@Edward
If you look in RivaTuner Hardware Monitoring, you'll find the actual Shader clock. It is just as cw posted.
