Overclocking Dual GTX 260's

Anyone get around to overclock their dual 260's yet? If so, please share your experience and settings??

Thanks for your help.

 

A few people have. Are you using NST?

 

Are you using search?

 

Yeah no doubt, learn how to use the search feature man.

 

I mAde a guide search overclocking guide (noob edition ) can't link cause I'm on my phone

 

Yes, I read the guide but as of yesterday there were no actual numbers or even that good of instructions for GPU overclocking.

IN the time it took you guys to type "RUN A SEARCH MAN," you could have been a little more helpful, but nope. Thank you Moo for actually being helpful.

 

Moo told you to search. lol

And it becomes very repetative around here when new members ask the same questions over and over.

 

Well instead of complaining you could have answered my question and I would have helped.

 

I'll give you my experience.
Unless your into benchmarking don't bother, the cards play anything but Crysis on Max settings and that on High.

Nvidia System Tools is buggy as and I couldn't find another programme that wouldn't give me screwy clock readings ect.

NST has been locking up on OC application, and preformance section keeps dissappearing from control center.

I got a overclock to stick once and the increase was bugger all in Vantage, which was likely the driver.

Crylo posted a order of install to get NST to work somewhere which is how I got one to stick but it seriously isn't worth the hassle unless your a benchmark junky.

 

hmmmm...I don't have any of those issues. I don't think it would be specific to the 260s.

 

Not saying it is specific to 260's Mandrake maybe it's just me.
I'm just saying OCing your cards in general is not worth it unless like yourself your a benchmarking freak!

I started to get all excited about benchmarking when I got this laptop then ran out of steam after two days.
Downloading 500mB programmes, crashing computers, trying drivers....

Kudos to you guys who do all the hard work!

I'll find the best, programme, clocks ect (via search) in a few years when my laptop can't play the latest and greatest games at high graphics level.

 

I haven't used NST. Should I try?

 

It's the only way to overclock just like I had in my guide .... Unless u flash the vbios

 

hi mr. moo I follow your guide to overclock when I start with the gpu core clock that was 550 i try 560 and reboot that was fine but i try 570 next time and my system freeze what I did wrong? i push it to far?

 

No try a differnt clock ... Try 600 right off if you want even some click are not to high they just are unstable

Try 620 on the core 1065 on mem

 

I usually start around 630|1025|1575...3DMark06 likes those clocks.

 

Youll get more fps out of your cards if you overclock, but you have to find a stable OC. Every card is different, and you may experience lockups and such. Just keep testing different oc settings until you find a stable OC. Oh, and you can play Crysis on max settings if you have 1440x900 res, or if you have native 1920x1200 rez, just turn the shadows off ( who the heck cares about shadows anyway???? )

M17 - T9600 @ 3.33 ghz - Dual 3870's

Ordered - M17x - Q9000 - Dual 260m's

 

Let me know how far you pushed it please?? Thanks.

 

Mandrake,

Does it matter that you're using dual 280's? I have dual 260's....

 

Doesn't matter.

 

260's seem to oc better

 

Yeah, probably those 16 stream processors that are missing, using up a bit less energy.
