8800m overclocking

This is obviously a theoretical question as no one in these forums has one at present, but I presume that if this were put in a 17" chassis and due to it's advanced architecture that this card should have sufficient enough cooling for some pretty hefty overclocking? I figure that since my 8700gt can take quite a bit of a beating, the 8800m GTX hopefully could as well. Any thoughts?

I aim to get this around Christmas (it'll just have come out by then for individual sales), so I'll let you guys know by that time.

 

lol,lol,lol.

the questions.

lol

 

Why would you ask this now when nobody has a clue?

Speculation is pointless, and so is this thread.

 

Considering the nature of this enthusiast chip, I guarantee you 100% that it will be capable of a very decent overclock.

I'd expect no less than 10% OC possible.

 

No, OC will fry your brains and cook you dinner, while steaming your coffee.
Duuuh,every card can be OCed , and OC is visibile no matter the card. Of course,it all depens on the game you play.
Anyway, WHY would you ask a pure hypothetical question about something which does not exist on the market yet? Just for the same of asking ?

 

Well it was built from the ground up to be perfect for the laptop.. SO it should be able to OC. I haven't found a gamer or enthusiasts product that can't do things of this nature.

Although if it runs as hot as the desktop option, I don't think we'll be going very high.

Don't see why we would need to OC it though. If it's as great as it's hyped it'll be ahead of all the games for the next 5 or so months.


Edit:
People chill he's just trying to make conversation and ask a question stop being such asses about it.

 

Go ask the germans and so who have that ROCK lappie with it to test OC'ing after they are done with the testings

 

You need a fast CPU to get anything out of that overclock. I overclocked my desktop E6600 to 2.93GHz and noticed a speed increase. Also I have overclocked my desktop 8800GTX to Core 620, Shaders 1500, no overclock on memory since it´s already at 1900MHz.

Those who have a 2.2GHz Core2Duo seriously needs a faster CPU for this card, I assume it is the same for the notebooks. Even if you are running very High Res the GPU doesn´t do all work. A faster CPU coupled with this yields faster framerates.

 

Good thing the c90 has a 2.93ghz C2D limit however I dont think it will be getting a full blown 8800 if any at all.

 

Holy Hell some of you people...

I asked the question because some of you are knowledgeable at predicting these things based on stats and the already known architecture that is also of the 8800GT. It seems completely fair to ask this question.

And it's not a hypothetical question; answers are based on theory of aforementioned architecture.

Magnus, do you think a 2.4ghz should be able to hold its own for the meantime or is a 0.4ghz upgrade worthy of consideration for it's extremely expensive cost? (X7900)

eleron, quit being an ass.

 

It is fun to theorize in this forum. Its just that most of the time it turns into an argument. I believe the 8800M GTX will allow decent overclocking...maybe 10% at the least. Thats based on the trends of most other gpus. I also dont think heat will be that much of an issue because in order for Nvidia to make such a fast card and put it in notebooks, they will have to take good care of the heat problems first. The 7x00 series was believed to be too hot...and then all of a sudden they were in notebooks and its completely normal now. Desktop cpus were also thought to be too hot...and bam...now they are in notebooks. Shrink, make more efficient, create less heat....thats what computer parts focus on now. BUT, if you cant put the 8800M GTX in a certain notebook, you can always cut it down and name it something else..even if it gets to the point of 8800M LE edition

 

I think it would be better to aks if 8800GT overclocks good or not and how much warmer it gets with overclock on desktop forum, then can you speculate on 8800m

 

I think a 2,4 will do fine. Actually the higher rez you go with this card the more the GPU has to work, less work for the CPU. So you should be fine with a 2,4.
