Working on my Geforce 6800.

I unlocked my Geforce 6800 Vanilla recently and saw a great improvement in preformance. Doom 3 never goes below 40 FPS now on max settings (I have a 3200+ 64-bit processer) and quake 4 only went as low as 23, and this was on that was on the hanibal ship. That's easily the most taxing level in quake 4.

So tomorrow i'm going to install my NV5 and overclock my card to try and squeeze out another 5-10 FPS. I'm redownloading 3dmark06 to see what real improvement I have gotten in this benchmark compared to the last month.

Here are my scores from last month:

Main Test Results
3DMark Score    1530 3DMarks
SM 2.0 Score    595 Marks
SM 3.0 Score    583 Marks
CPU Score    781 Marks

I will post my results with the unlocked card in about 45 min. Tomorrow I will post my results with an overclocked GPU if anyone cares to see.

Anyway, just to make some discussion, post your videocard overclocking success stories here.

I have a radeon 9550 256MB ddr RAM overclocked from 250/200 to 429.00/255.00 . I overclocked it with ATI tool 0.25 beta 14, and the drivers are the newest Omega drivers. If I flash the bios to a 9600XT I could probly get an even better clock on the card.

After I OC'ed the card I went out and bought a GPU cooler and ram sinks to put on the card to keep it cool, it only had a passive heat sink before.

Before I overclocked it, my computer couldnt play HL 2 with a good frame rate above 30, now it plays with the fram rate at 50+
and the highest the fram rate has ever gotten was 94 FPS. The settings on HL2 are all on high just theres no AA or other stuff   like that.
