The_Zeroorez Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 On a lot of forums people rumour that RAM on the HD2900XT, or the 9600GT (like I have) should not run above a 1000 MHz as it will slowly die when you do that. However, nowhere I can find a real strong argument why this either would or would not be the case. So my question is: Is it OK for GDDR3 to run above 1000 MHz or not? And if so, why?

mrb0y Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Ok I just set my 9600GT EVGA's memory clock to 1000 via Riva Tuner 2.08, I seriously doubt it will do any harm. I'm thinking it would have to be a lot higher than that to see any negative effects. Where did you get your information from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kain Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Mine runs at 1,150 without problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrb0y Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Ok I set mine to 1150 also, what about your core clock speed??? I'm at 700 and shader clock at 1736. *** Just played Team Fortress 2 and it crashed after about 10 minutes. Bringing the memory back down to 1000. I really think the overclock is worthless unless you can actually "use" it I think it is much easier to benchmark an overclock than to play it. There should be an overclocked 1st person shooter tournament! Thats a bench mark! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
