    I'm new to the overclocking thing, but I just installed rivatuner and 3dmark this morning and been testing it out. I ran some tests at 1280x854 (default resolution)

    No OC: 4225
    Overclocked to 600/1200/800: 5117

    I'm using nvidia 169.04 drivers. Are these decent results, or are there other improvements I can make without overheating problems?

    the highest that I can push mine is 710 core, 910 memory which yielded a 5775 in 1280x1024.

    just a note, the default resolution for 3dmark 06 is 1280x1024 and that is the resolution that most people run their benchmarks in. If you want to get a little closer to these tests results then you can ran it at 1440x900 which is about 1% fewer rendered pixels as 1280x1024 but still pretty close in comparison.

    Ill run mine in 1280x854 to compare to yo though

    Oh hmm, I just downloaded the free version and can't change any configs, so I just have 1280x854.
    And for the cpu test, I'm guessing I'm supposed to see like 0-1 fps?

    ahh I forgot about that. If you plug in an external monitor and change your windows to output only to the external then it will default to 1280x1024.

    here's my 1280x854 results:
