Overclocking my already overclocked 8800gts...

Task Force · 07-16-09, 07:54 PM

So I have my card overclocked... but I am thinking of going farther...

Current core speed... 580mhz

memory speed 850mhz...

(note my card is an 8800gts 640, its almost 2 years old if age has anything to do with it...)

The real question you have to ask yourself is...

Can I afford a new one ?

I think overclocking it to 600mhz wont kill it...

yea, they cost as much as a 8700 use to.. (less that 200 dollars I know that)

I dont think i can find the BFG 640mb factory overclocked version anymore though.

Try less than $100 for one much faster than you 8800. Actually, you have a gts model, so i take that back. That one should still hold its own in most cases. You will need to spend $200.

The 8800 gts is on the bottom, but its still not bad since its in 5 digits.
