I've had problems overclocking my 6800nu, it would softmod fine but overclocking was a problem. 350 on the core and about 750 mem. Now I know that the memory was rated at 2.2ns so should theoretically be able to do 850mhz but I was getting no where near that.

I had flashed the bios to change the voltages but still had no real success, so I started reading up over at guru3d and found a threads where by people had got success by flashing the bios to higher speeds as well as volts.

I downloaded some blokes modded bios for my Leadtek card. flashed and bang, straight away, my card can do 400 on the core & 875mhz on the memory!!. This is amazing, no artifacts, no tearing, no throttling. I don't know what was holding it back previously, especially on the memory side of things as I dont think putting more volts through the core (1.5v now) should affect the memory.

Anyways this is my 3dMark 03 with the core at 425mhz, memory at 900mhz & fsb at 250

    When I did that it was at 2.5g @250fsb my new score is now just over 12500 on a 2.65g @265 fsb. :) So i'm happy.

    Whats your max o/c on your card Gnome? Cos if your getting over 12000 with no soft mod there's something seriously fast in your system.

    Gnome, don't you have a GT with 256mb ram? 2.85 gigs makes a great difference compared to 2.5 on the cpu.
