So i have a 8800gts (g92) 512 ddr3, EVGA.

and with riva tuner and ati tool is shows my memory clock being 972 Mhz.
And my core clock at 650 Mhz


But shouldnt it be 1940-1944 Mhz?
And core at 670 Mhz?

Do i not understand GPU's as much as i thought or is this thing broken?

mobo is a biostar Tforce 4 sli.
3gb of ddr2 800
proc is dual core athlon 64 x2 3800+
Chipset Nvidia Nforce4 Rev. A3

Memory is reported in DDR(double data date or x 2) so 972 x 2 is 1944

8800GTS 512's are 650mhz for stock speeds.

everything is fine.

Thank you sir i was sure it was something as simple as that. just wanted to be assured. i thought i would have noticed half ram anyways.

Is there a good resource where i can find where others have safely overclocked there g92 core to?

I right now am overclocked to 720 from 650 core and 1052 from 972 memory.

Every card is different. just test it good with ati tool's artifact scanner.

but how do i know if its good
it finds errors on stock settings in less than a second

for real? strange. its it allot of dots? The dots show up long before any game will error so it may or may not be safe to go on. I personally would not, but its your call. I think Evga has a lifetime warranty on cards(as long as they do not know you had been overclocking)

I have run hours of it on my 8800GTX without any errors.

I guess your method will be small increase, games or 3d marks and repeat. Still every card is different for its max.

its usually 2-3 pixels, i made another topic in overclocking 3d chips forum,

Did it make artifacts only after pushing 700? then they stayed? maybe something was damaged?

or was it always like that.

i think tonight im going to set everything back to default, restart and run another test.
