XFX 8800GTS Alpha Dog Overclocking Adventure
The NVIDIA G92 has been causing a stir in the overclocking community. Notable is the well executed process change. We look at how the average enthusiast gets to squeeze their dollar with some elbow grease.
Additional Firepower
We crossed our fingers for an all-out test on forced-air cooling. An additional capacitor was placed across the Vmem rails so those little Qimondas get a good deal more clean fun. The Vgpu rail had one too. Sanyo's 6.3V, 1500uF WG fitted the bill for it's low ESR and small size.
I admit, it's not that small after all.
A few extra MHz were squeezed out of the whole setup, while a streamlined Windows XP Professional installation with Forceware 169.21 drivers took over our earlier Vista setup. We prodded the FSB a bit and tweaked out the mipmaps.
And we end off the day with...19643 3DMarks!
1.5V Vgpu, 2.11V Vmem.
Time for some 2560 X 1600 Unreal action! Good luck clocking guys! ;)
