hey guys, if a question.

im only OC with ntune which is not that good i guess... what do you prefer and what is better at Riva Tuner or ATI toolz? furthermore, i have no additional cooling or something because it is impossible to open my notebook without loosing my guarantee. can you tell me how far i can go wth tuning without additional cooling (i cant control fan speed, if got an exotic toshiba motherboard :) ...

another one: if i OC, only the frequencies of one core is rising==?

thanks a lot so far!! greetz from berlin

I don't know how to OC sli...

Anyway i don't understand this:

GPU Frequencies: (core)600/ (mem)750

Memory Frequencies: 505

What is your video card memory frequencies ? 505 means DDRII, 750 means DDRIII.

Every test has been made on the OS provided by Dell on shipping, i think formatting and replacing with a REAL clean install i could get some more.

Does anyone play World of Warcraft on this card using a Dell 1720. I have yet to find stable drivers and wondered if any other users with the same laptop and card are having issues and if they did have they been able to fix it?

Core: 680

Memory: 520

Temp: 70-80 when playing Crysis. (exactly why im getting a very high qualit cooling pad)

And I get about 25fps on Crysis at mostly High settings.

all these good improvements is inspiring me to finally try this out I'll see whats good.

What would be high/dangerous levels for a cards temperature to be at?

edit: playing crysis im getting temps 70-72, using 175.70 drivers, not sure where that falls in good/bad though

Trying to play Age of Conan with this card 512mb version, I have yet to find a stable driver/game compatibility.

So far I must have tried a dozen different drivers from the latest to some of the reputedly most stable, suggested on other posts in this and other forums, with varying lengths of gametime before client crashing.

I'm not so interested by benchmarks as they're not really comparable to games. I'm just looking for the most stable driver compatible with this game.

If anyone has a good suggestion, thanks in advance for your feedback. :)

u need to find the "sweet spot" 3dmark06 can give you a lower score if the balance b/w memory and core isn't right. There's no set ratio between the two so you will have to find that by yourself.

When i O/C my card to 613/1304/514, it'll be stable for most of the time, on rare occasions it will crash. Therefore, I tried lowering the clocks, and I found that by O/Cing to a lower clock like 600/1300/484, makes the system more unstable, this causes the driver to constantly crash.

Can anyone explain this?

are these temperatures full load? my G1S with 8600M GT goes as high as 97C at full load (DeadSpace, FarCry2) then it starts to choke... it seems like it´s throttling but clocks don´t change... it seems my G1S has a very bad 8600 chip inside. going to RMA today.

The poster you were referring to is also running 3dmark06 at a lower resolution than stock, so his numbers are not standardized and inflated a bit for the oc he is running at.

XPS M1530 with 8600M GT GDDR3. overclocked to 685/1030/1370 max, but not stable in ALL games. lowered down to 660/1030/1320, now 100% stable. stressed in furmark for 1.5 hours at 1680x1050, 8x MSAA at these clock speeds, highest temps 83c. highest temps in game (fallout 3) is 79c.

You're using a laptop cooler to get that kind of OC right? If I even try those clock speeds (without a cooler), my m1530 will totally sh!t itself.
