51m 7700 Vid card speeds - Page 2

Coolbits. Cool.

I'm running a GeForce FX 5650 Go in my current laptop, with abominable benchmark scores. Gets decent performance ingame, though.

Aquamark03 always kills me on Large-Scale Vegetation Rendering. I'm looking forward to running it on my new 7700 and piledriving that field of mushrooms.

i don't want to overclock but I at least want the processor/memory at the level designated by nvidia for the 6800 go. 300/300 is base operation right? why would they be setting the card lower, heat issues? if i clock it to the supposed freq are there any heat related problems i need to be aware of?

300/300 is conservative for this card . why AW sets it lower is a mistake the tech was shocked when i told him mine came much lower and he insisted i put it to 300 300 at least. he kinda hinted i could go as high as it would let me . just install cool bits and run the auto detect it will put u in the ballpark. and still be a bit conservative. By the way the memory runs at atleast 600 perfectly and purrs like a kitten . why they say 300 is beyond me maybe for better battery life.

pffff, if i wanted battery life i would have gone with a sentia...power baby, i work 911 dispatch, I don't need portability I can hook in at the desk, but I need something for my classnotes and utilities that i can take with me.(nothing in violation of the NDA) i figured if i had to get a new pc and a laptop, and battery life isn't important why not go with one that I've heard great service for. my main concern is heat, i need a little more longevity out of my pc because of the environment I'll be using it in. I'll be using it for 10+ hours a day from time to time and i just don't want to melt anything down, but I also don't want a gfx card that's clocked BELOW manufacturers...so what would be a conservative, safer number? I know they were suggesting a version that came overclocked already at 450/600, how long can I expect something like this to last? never got into the overclocking game before and I'm a bit wary

that 450 600 is ddr3 these have ddr2 you can get easily 600 memory but its unlikely you will see 450 on core. I run mine at home and at work non stop and i let it booted up all day and night when im not in transit . i have not hada overheat on the card yet. the only reason you need to clock past 300 300 is if your playing top notch games and want ever fps you can get.

EDIT UPDATE i just spent some messing with the OC'ing and playing with drivers and managed a 18422 in 3d 01 not alot better then whats in my sig. so it would seem ive hit a bottle neck. by the way this was at 373/677. ive lowered them down to 350/650 for every day use. but no matter how you look at it its all just extra any way becuase at default speeds these lappys can run any game on high easy.

Don't get too hung up on the numbers - it's the in-game experience that counts.
I have a Go6800 with DDR2 and have it clocked to 300/660

I can run all games incl. BF2 at high res and enjoy all the whistles and bells.
Juts eek up the clocking until you find what's stable for you ..

I probably could go greater than 300 core but tbh I have had no heat/lockup issues with the setting as I have it now and since I can play what I want at good resolutions I'm happy to stay with it...

I run mine underclocked at 10/45 and I get a 3DMark05 score of around 95. It runs my atari 2600 mame roms quite well, especially Combat.

Muhahaha, that's the spirit

By the way, a little message for all of you heavy o/cers - I used to o/c too with my 5500 and I ended up with a fried graphic card. I don't know if it was 100% related to my o/cing as I saw some people o/c higher than I did but anyway, yeah, I fried the thing and I waited for 3-4 weeks living with the fear that I might have damaged something else in the system too. When the graphic card overheats and dies, you can easily fry the motherboard and/or the RAM at the same occasion. So if I were you and had spent about 4K in a laptop, I would just accept that 1. there is not enough air flow in a laptop for an efficient o/cing, 2. are 200 points more in 3D Mark really worth frying your graphic card?, 3. Again this is a laptop, not a desktop.

But yeah you really understand all this the day you fry your system and then you realize it's time to stop messing with the settings and accept that what you have is g.o.o.d. enough

no. it used to have an elephant, Big Al from the Univ. of Alabama, but I took it off.

hehe, I thought I'd throw something off the wall in there since I think the guy has been booted.

using get thermal (see the get thermal main post) and a progy called tweakmon i have carefully been able to get my DDR2 6800 go up to a score of 18500 and thats it.
I think u can still get tweakmon at www.tweaktools.cjb.net
