Maybe ur card cant handle it...not all card have the same capability.. Ur oc max?

I also tried to boost voltage, using little mathematic and 3D voltage is now 1.62Voltage insted of 1.20, but it doesn't not work better, same freeze at same frequencies, and temperatur never goes high.... I don't understand.

Tried my oc above playin cod4 n crysis...run ok..

But i don have any idea y ur card cant oc higher than ur current.. But at that point..u should not worry much.. The clock high already..

adjust the voltage? Wat software did u use to do that?

Oh yeah..anyway..i run 3dmark also at that freqs..didnt notice much bout the temp.. Heh3

Memory TYPE : DDR3

GPU: 8600M GT

Core Clock: 605MHz

Memory Clock: 905MHz

Drivers: 169.21

Temperature: 70-80 In Game (With Cooler)

Stability: 100%

Tools used: ATITool

Laptop: Macbook Pro

Can't get over 4,800 in 3DMark 06... I Gotzta do it...

* UPDATE *

Memory TYPE : DDR3

GPU: 8600M GT

Core Clock: 600MHz

Memory Clock: 900MHz

Drivers: 169.02

Temperature: 70-84 In Game (With Cooler)

Stability: 100%

Tools used: ATITool

Laptop: Macbook Pro (2.4ghz/4gig ram)

5,200+ 3DMark 06 (1280x1024)

Older driver is better with 3DMark im guessing, games are the next thing to test. Im very happy with my performance. After building a desktop for a customer with a 8600GTS/5200+ Windsor, was getting 5,200+ 3DMark96. Though I paid $3000 and he paid $700...

Hey guys can have a small tutorial on how to overclock this card? I'm currently running an ASUS Lamborghini VX2S with a 2.2Ghz Core 2 Duo, I've tried before but Riva Tuner keeps defaulting back to the stock settings. Thanks for any help.

Update the clock!

675/551. Yay! Stability not fully test yet. Juz with 3dmark06 test. Temp 63 peak. Cpu 70 at peak. Gonna do more. :)

EDITED:

Crash when playing Cod4 half an hour. T_T

hahaha..

505/420 getting 3900~ in 3D06. Stability 100% so I think I have plenty of room to move the speeds up. Running the 169.17 drivers.

You can easly get to:

CPU: 590Mhz

Memory: 490Mhz

-----------------------------

I'm using those frequencies with my edited 8600M GT Bios.

That's craziness! What makes this card so overclockable? :)

I don't know, and you know what ? i'm pretty sure, with perfect Voltage / Frequencies report we could get higher. Overclocking more the UC is useless, 640Mhz would only allow you to gain 1fps.... But if could boost memory, we could gain like 10fps, I allready tried to change voltage to 1.7 from 1.2 but it looks like it doesn't change memory voltage. We need to work on IT, as computer like Inspiron 1520 got good fans we have lot of work to do...

My max OC to date is.....

  • Memory TYPE (DDR2 - DDR3): DDR2
  • GPU: 256MB 8600MGT
  • Frequencies: Core: 650, Memory: 550, Shader: 1300
  • Modded Inf: Yes
  • Drivers: 169.01
  • Temperature:48-63C
  • Stability: Not heavily tested... 3dMark Stability decent... a Few "Twitches".... ( I normally run OC'd at 625/525/1250, )
  • Tools used:nTune
  • Tweaks or things Enable/Disable: Default, 3dMark Score 4260 @ 1280x1024
  • OS: Windows Vista 32Bit.

*Note, I normally run OC'd at 625/525/1250 I find this clock to be extremely stable, with low temps and a huge performance jump playing games..

3dMark06 score with 625/525/1250 maxed at 4123.

I don't understand, if i put more than 500Mhz to the Ram, it freeze instantly in any games i'm testing...

It's not realy freezing, i get everything loops for 10 sec then i get the next sounds for 10 secs, ect... See what i mean ? Like if the CPU was 10Mhz... ><

what ur gfx card?

all i can say is... i had a similar thing with my card them I had dell replace it and it works uber now.... I was told that the cards are released in "batches" and that some arent as capable as others..

maybe thats the prob?

but whats your graphic card?

Oh ok, I didnt know because your info on the left under your name is wrong I guess...

I am guessing you might have a card that just is not capable of overclocking as high as some others, sometimes you get unlucky like that. I had a card like yours at first and the same thing happened to me

I couldnt push the clock very far at all, I had dell replace the card on some trumped up issue and since then I can overclock this card fine.

Therefore I suggest one of two things. If the card handels your games how you like them, then just keep it, If you dont care about Benchmarks keep what you got, it may not be worth

risking someone opening your laptop to replace it or dealing with CS for a few hours to get them to come out and replace your card.

However, If your anal about Benchmarks like me, call up your CS and see if they will replace the card for you.. .Maybe you'll get a card that has more room to OC.

Will try to get it replaced. How did you get it replaced ?

I told em I was having graphical issues, poor performace and that my LCD had missing pixels... they replaced my LCD and GFC card....

Funny addition to the story... Dell is now replacing my whole system :) So im getting a brand new one in 5-7 buisness days... which is nice..
