| 709670 | 2008-10-03 22:58:00 | Hey there everyone. I've just been using ASUS Smartdoctor to overclock my graphics card (8800GS TOP) I can sucessfully overclock the Engine from 600 to 700Mhz, Shader from 1700 to 1850Mhz and the memory from 1800 to 2000Mhz. I reset the computer and it is sucessfully overclocked reporting the overclocked values in smartdoctor, GPU-Z and Everest. I run the crysis GPU benchmark, No difference. Surely there should be at least a SLIGHT increase? Any ideas. I have the following settings and specs. Game Effects - High Motion Blur - High Object - Medium Particles - Medium Physics - Medium Post Processing - High Shading - High Shadows - Medium Sound - Medium Texture - Medium Volumetric Effects - Medium Water - High All at 1024x768, It seems a bit low for my card I felt, Everyone else on youtube seems to be running at high with an occasional mix of VHigh. Processor is X2 3800+ @ 2.3Ghz. Thanks. |

Higher clocks will only ever give results if your GPU is the bottleneck. But in this case it's not. If you want better results, buy a better card is probably your only option. OC is fully over-rated. |
