You can have a little yellow artifacts, they will usually never show in games. That is a very good OC, and by increasing the PCIE frequency to 115MHz, I bet you can hit 700MHz.

The setting should be in the bios.




I have never heard of this before. Currently my 8800GTS is at 650 core, 1620 shader, and 1GHZ non effective ram.

By increasing my PCIe Frequency would it be possible to get something like 675 core and 1650-1700 shader? Also can I get a link on this cause I need to know why it does. I don't understand how it would be possible.

Nice guide, but how did you get the 169.21 drivers to work with riva tuner? Whenever I try to open it, it says drivers not detected, etc...and in the box below where it states my video card, it says no information available, and it doesn't display the hardware monitoring icon. Lower, it says forceware detected, but won't let me customize. I have a 8800 gts 512mb from xfx, rivatuner 2.06, 169.21 drivers, windows xp pro. Also, i recently formatted my hard drive, and this problem occurred before the format too.



Are you in XP or Vista? I could not get my 7900 to work with RivaTuner and Vista, but it works fine in RivaTuner and XP.

Xp pro, and it must be supported, because in the first picture in the original post, the video card is a 8800gts 512, and the drivers are 169.21. When I start it, it says forceware detected, but none of the modification settings appear.
Edit-If it helps, I have a q6600 and p35-ds3l

Go into Rivatuner.CFG and find the following:

G92 =

After the ='s should be some numbers, those are the product codes for the 8800 GT, following those numbers type " ,600h" and that should add 8800 GTS support with the G92.

@Everyone: You can substitute ATiTool for RivaTuner 95% of the time.

 

I personally prefer ATiTool over RivaTuner, as ATiTool seems to have better support/ stability. Then again, I do a BIOS mod any way (once I find a stable speed). Check out my 8400GS:

I have tested this for myself and it has worked. Google "PCIe frequency" and you'll see many people getting the same results. As for why, I have not found out yet.

Following these settings you think I would get more improvement on a 576MHz overclock of a Radeon Sapphire 9600 pro 256Mb?

I've just recently decided to try my hand at overclocking and have been looking at info on the process. I found this thread and the guide looks pretty thorough, however, all the pictures that go along with it have been deleted from photobucket. Is there another place to see this guide with the pics?
