Damn the RAM

lAnonymousl · 26-September-03, 08:57 PM

I overclocked my vid card a few weeks ago, ,but only recently compared my frequencies with other users using 3dmarks03. My GPU is definetly above average at 320 MHz, but my RAM seems kinda low at only 639. Any higher and I start getting splinters. Just now for ****s and giggles I cranked it up to 700 (the max I found on 3Dmarks. Needless to say....it wasn't pretty. I don't know what the problem is. I have ramsinks on all of them (lapped) and I'm only getting less than average overclocking on them. Maybe it's just the manufacturer (PNY) or I just got a lemon. What do you think? Any suggestions?

Also...my max score (stable) was 1730 at stock CPU (2.0A). I can't imagine how that one guy got his RAM to 700 MHz.

Not all vid cards get the same ram... some use lower quality or speed to cut down on costs.
