hi
I recently bought a new video card. I just got a new nvidia geforce 9600 gt 256mb. The thing is i am having no idea about overclocking and how to perform it. The only thing i knw is that overclocking helps you to know the capapbility of your product and strenght.
Please help me regarding this
In One of the first GeForce 9600 gt overclocking experiments it was possible to increase the frequency from 650/1625/1800 MHz to 849/2002/2088 MHz, this is very good result for 65 nm video chip and Gddr-3 memory (with the access time 1.0 ns) . According to the photographs , the standard version GeForce 9600 gt, has two phases video chip power system and one memory phases .
The overclock of new video card is complicated since it is not supported by specialized utilities.
The Video chip make contacts with the copper base . The memory are from Qimonda production ( access time 1.0 ns), which allow to overclock the memory up to 2000 MHz DDR . The GeForce 9600 gt tested was able to overclock up to 827/2067/2198 MHz.
To overclock the XFX 9600GT I used Nvidia's Ntune software. I started at the default clock speeds of 650 on the core and 900 on the memory. From there I worked the core and memory clocks up until I found a good balance of clock and memory speed. The final speeds were 727 on the core and 1033 on the memory. To run these speeds I set the fan control manually to 100% to maximize the cooling capacity of the single slot cooling solution. For a $180 dollar card, a core speed increase of 77MHz and a memory speed increase of 133 MHz are not to shabby if you ask me. At no point did the temperatures get out of hand, which is surprising considering the size of the heatsink.
Based on 65nm technology and powered by NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GT graphics processing units, the WinFast PX9600 GT and PX9600 GT Extreme come with 512MB 256bit GDDR3 memory and a GPU clock speed of 650 and 720 MHz respectively. They are designed to run perfectly with the PCI Express 2.0 interface, the new bus architecture that doubles the interconnect bit rate from 2.5 to 5.0 GT/second in a seamless and compatible manner. In addition, it is fully backward compatible with existing PCI Express 1.0 motherboards for the broadest support. All of this makes it ready for the most demanding future bandwidth games and 3D applications.
