8800 GTS over clocking

EVGA Precision or MSi Afterburner

yea but what should i look out for what/what not to do exactly for max performance

use soft Rivatunner

What version do you have? My old EVGA 8800GTS 320 was one of the best overclocking cards I have ever had. This GTX460 beats it hands down though.

Hmmm core clock was what 500mhz on that sucker? I am pretty sure I was running at around 575 core 1800 memory? That was 2 cards ago I can not remember for sure. It would run faster but at the time that was plenty. Try EVGA Precision or Afterburner then test with Furmark to see if the overclock is stable. Just like any overclock increase speed a bit and test then repeat until you find where it starts to fail and back off from there.

I have the 8800gts 320mb card, I use to run it at 660 core, 999 memory, 1640 shader clock speeds.

EVGA superclock was set at 576 core, 850 memory, 1350 shader.
Evga KO was set at 588 core, 920 memory, 1450 shader.

Had these numbers lying around for awhile in some text file, enjoy. Overclock at your own risk. Just remember to stress test it and keep it cool are the important things.

its a MSI 8800 GTS 320

^^^^ Sorry about the self quote.
Brand does not really matter as to how you overclock.

what should i put it at minimum with a lil boost

Try the EVGA Superclock settings assasin32 listed -575 core -850 memory and 1350 shader. Then run Furmark to see if it's stable. If so that is a nice little boost.
