    I have a machine with the quadro version of your GPU, but there are not many out in the wild yet. its an 8800gts, so what clocks do you use for gaming?

    I used 660/980 for a 3dmark6 run but use 625/950 for a safe overclock

    And what temperatures do you see. We see ~64deg C running in windows and I get 91deg C when gaming.

    Anyone with an x7900 too? I see 60s for CPU temp too. Using HWmonitor for temps

    thanks for the help

    I'm pretty sure the FX3600 is the workstation version of the 8800M GTX, not 8800M GTS.

    Also 91 deg is pretty high, you might want to look at getting a cooler if you aren't using one. It's not burning up yet, but 91 degs is not a level you want your GPU to be constantly hovering around.

    I can't see any clocks in your sig. Here is the GPUz data for my current overclock. It is based on the GTS, check the shaders, the GTX has 96, GTS and FX 64

    This card is a very strong overclocker I just backed off the clocks to be on the safe side as I was seeing some texture flashes in stalker with 660/980

    91deg is not an issue. My old 7800gtx ran higher. The thermal throttle is >100deg C

    Yes, I am aware that 91 deg is still in the safe zone, just brought it up as some users don't like it hovering around those temperatures.

    That's very interesting. I was under the impression that the FX3600 was a GTX based card. Thanks for the update.

    The CPU is not overclockable in the M6300 which is a bummer. I'm still working on what clocks I'll use 24/7 and then I'll rerun 3dmark for that. These runs are not for gaming settings since I saw texture flashes - thats actually why I was polling this board since the cards are basically the same. I run vista64 and ATI tool does not work in this operating system

    The gateway is a great laptop, actually almost bought one, but like the precisions for work use
