Talking My first OC -Video Card-

After so many hours of reading post after post about OC'ing video cards, I finally gave it a shot.
I guess i should give you a little background on my shuttle that i did this on, so here it goes.
AMD 2500+ barton
Nvidia GeForce FX 5900XT
1 Gig of Corsair ram
120 Gig Western Digi HDD
All wrapped up in a Nice Shuttle XPC ( cant recall model #)
So after careful deliberation I used the Rivatuner, that i got from -THE DEFINITIVE LIST OF LINKS TO ALL THINGS MODDING- to oc my video card. I went through step by step on the Sysopt site for instructions on the how to guide.
What i ended up with is this.....
Stock Core clock 300-Memory clock 700
After OC Core clock 350-Memory clock 750

I will say this, the Rivatuner is a simple tool for anyone to use. After oc'ing i started up my Call of Duty UO multiplayer and cranked up all the graphics,and let me tell ya---WHAT A DIFFERENCE--
Thanks to the definitive list, and to Pimp Rig.......rock on!

*Drool* 350Mhz GPU Core OC. Nice Job. How's the heat situation now? Mine gets pretty hot at 175Mhz OCed.

www.futuremark.com Download 3dmark05 and all the updates with it. Then run the bench mark tool. Then after it runs orb it. I will ask you to make an acount online and you can put your specs online. 3dmark05 is free so dont threat. Oh yeah remember to copy the correct url in. It will be the url underneath the publish area.
