Overclocking XFX 8600 GT

[Mega Member]

Hello,
i have recently purchased myXFX GeForce 8600 GT and so far it's great...however, i'm trying to figure out what everyone's OC results are on this GPU.what are the limits to it for overclocking.Any recommendations and suggestions are appreciated.

hi,
use rivatuner and read the guide. When you open up rivatuner, it should say forceware detected. Then click on the arrow next to it, then on the picture of the card.

XFX is a good company as far as keeping the cards cool and not hot.

When I overclock my cards I don't go more then 20% more then the processor stock speed.

Foxconn’s 8600 GT Overclocked graphics card falls right in line with the overclocked 8600 GT cards I have tested previously including the XFX 8600 GT XXX and the EVGA 8600 GT Superclocked. Foxconn clocks their card at 560MHz on the core and 1620 MHz on the memory. The shader clock on the 8000 series of cards moves up from the stock speed when you overclock the core, but Foxconn doesn’t say what specific speed the shader core runs at. The card has 254MB GDDR3 RAM and 32 stream processors. This card is not HDCP capable.

You can OC a 8600GT a decent amount, but the gain is not even close to what a stock 8800GT could even reach. I've had both of my 8600GT cards at 800Mhz without voltage change, but when I ran 3Dmark06, the difference was only 500-800 points. What really made a difference was OC my CPU.
