I selected 'AutoOverclock' on my driver panel, and the damn thing crashed out before the first game test was done! I'm also using the 76.41's, so it's not a driver issue (although I think I'm using the 'performance' drivers from Laptopvideo2go...). I will try again to make sure it's not a fluke, but i8kfangui says my GPU temp is ~45C before I start...

EDIT: Okay, yeah, this thing crashes everytime I enable 'AutoOverclock' and start a 3D application...if I set it back to 'No Overclocking', I can run 3dmark05 flawlessly and end up with 5332 and a GPU temp of about ~52C...I have no idea how far Nvidia's program is ramping things up, but if it's really jacking the core clock by ~85 Mhz, that could be it...I will try throwing I8kfangui's switches up to 'high' on 'manual control' and running it overclocked again to explore the theory that it's a heat issue...

Also, this is worthy of another thread since there's been a breakthrough (albeit a small and uncontrollable one), so I'm pasting this result into the first post...anybody who has more info on overclocking, please use the new thread so we can collect all info in one place (if you feel like it)...

Hmm I tryed it. I only got 5464... Interesting well i will have to play with this some more..

edit: All futher test have failed (lock's up during 3d mark) but the FPS increase (until it locked up ) by about 5-6 fps... If you could keep it from locking up I could see it getting close to the 6k mark..


Later,
Zratt

How do I run games at 4:3 ratio with the 76.41 drivers? There used to be an option in the nvidia panel to stick to the ratio...

timebomb has excellent display of properties in his screen shot--no doubt going forward and keeping records this is the way to do it. Now that a somewhat modified form of overclocking has been done and with some working on a cracking the locks on the Ultra BIOS this all could get very interesting

When I select auto-overclocking it always resets itself and turns it off. There's nothing I can do to force it to overclock manually or automatically.

My system will crash ocationally now that I changed the hard drive (wanted to keep the dell image fresh) and loaded XP pro.
I assume I got a good chip and probably have better thermal transfer than most of the others. My fans ramp up slightly but never go full speed in COD, Doom3 or 3dmark05.
It might be of interest to some to replace the t.i.c to some artic silver considering Dell slaps these things together.
My setup is not stable at these settings and I dont game overclocked.
