6600gt clocks gpu cpu

[ravenc]

hey guys ive been playing around with my overclocks using 3dmark 2k1 se

stock gpu 500 oc to 550
stock ram 450 oc to 550
gave me stock 15,200 to 16,200

sempron 3k+ 1.8 oc to 2.0 gave me 17,400

much easier oc and more points too less heat stable why would a cpu oc give me more points then a massive oc on the card is that a "bottle neck" perhaps buying one of those athlon 3200's at 2.2 might jus be worth it

or just overclock.. semprons should have really good overclocks low cache level on them.. i picked up a few 3200+'s for less than 30$ each so if you can find that get it

Why are you using 3DMark 2001?

It doesn't even test most of the features that your card supports since they weren't available when that benchmark was created.

That old benchmark is probably very CPU dependent which would account for the higher scores when oc'ing the CPU.

Try using 2005.
