Geforce 8 series Overclocking Guide

[gayannr]

dont use ntune's automatic over clocking utility NEVER, it is horribly wrong, for an example once i oced ma card with it and the system was giving me Bsods every 5 minutes but still the ntunes stabilty testing utility was reporting my card is very stable loooool

and it reports my CPU clock as 36567MHz
ROFLMFAO

Using BIOS flashing is permanent and SW is not

No thats not it, ocing it in the bios make it more reliable that ocing from windows, and u dont have to run ur ocing tool all the time u start ur computer (i dont like this lool) any way, id say that if ur not sure what ur doing stay away from modifying the video bios, but its very safe if u do it the right way

OK u won..loool..everyone please also use (give more priority to ur eyes tho) ATITOOL for artifact testing, altho its last version is 2 years old and its known to be wrong on some cases at detecting artifacts.

ATITool is for unlimited OCing.On your own risk.If you hanevt OCed that VGA it would have sucked big time.Better it srewed up after giving you some OC pleasure

8600GT its a waste of money buddy u should have gotten a 1650 pro its quite faster than the 8600GT and its the same price nway

Well it can run Pacman ok... And it does a great job as a paper holder too..with all SM2 n all..it really does!!

OC problems with 1650 pro. You can OC your 8600GT for more performance+DX 10.That makes 8600GT worth it.

That reminds me of Nipuna He has a TNT2 M64,MX 440,and a FX5200 on his wall.Glued.Green,blue and red. He never removes them.Even he dont know why they are there.
