    I've got a stock 7811 right now, and I'm thinking of overclocking my 9800m gts. I ran 3dmark06 twice, and both scores were just above 8800. Would you say these are normal for a stock 7811? Also, since I'm going to overclock my gpu, I need a good overclocking tool. I know a lot of people use RivaTuner, but I don't like it. The interface feels weird to me, and I when I look up guides for it, they must be using a different version, because a lot of the options are different or missing in 2.20 and 2.22.

    Edit: I'm using Dox 179.32 drivers. I think the 179.28s are a little better with DX9, so I guess using those could raise my score a little, but I use DX10 a lot in games, and 179.32 performs better there.

    That's a relief. I had an incident a little while ago where my GPU was running at over 90C for about 2 hours while I was asleep (disable your screensavers!). I thought I might have damaged it.
