How far will Asus V7700 PRO go?

[duckbill]

The factory defaults are mem@400 and Core@200. Ive oc'ed it to 200/451. It also seems to be working, im not getting any artifacts nor crashes in games/3dmark2001.

Now the questions are,

1) how high will it go w/o any extra cooling? And will this dramatically shorten its lifespan? (ie. will it break down tomorrow?

2) As the frequencies are upped wont the card draw more power (ie. more current since the voltage remains the same) from the mb? If so, will this be a problem?

Thanks in advance.

Geforce 2 runs pretty cools so you won't burn it
How to know when you went too far?
Easy, when you get rendering errors (artifacts) in 3D games (most likely memory) or a crash (core).
I doubt you will get the memory much further without troubles, some get their cards at 480 though so no harm in trying. You can get some extra performance by getting some out of the core, but remember that the memory OC gives the best gain.
