damn impressive overclock on the memory. but i am wondering if the ati overclocking tool he used is loosening memory timings as he increases the clock speed. the overclocked benchmark results arent exactly impressive considering its only just above a stock clocked 8800gt and we all know how well that card overclocks (sitting happy at 775 core, 1800 shader, 1900 mem here)

Not 100% sure on ATI cards, but memory overclocking on the GT is the least benficial of the three. Core clock and shader clocks is where it's at.

yeah i was just saying for the memory overclock they got the results arent that impressive in relation to the speed of the memory.

did you see the temps he got with the after market cooler

yeah dude crazy wonder how much oc potential has this card

yes and the fact they didn't try to push the OC further is gay

Of course not. ATI dropped down from a 512-bit bus to a 256-bit bus with little effect. The GPU obviously doesn't need more memory bandwidth.
