270/303 and 400/470 is that good for my card ?

i usually go in 10mhz increments. after overclocking test the card with a video benchmark, and run for a lil' while in a game to see if its overheating or if you get pixels. that big of a jump isn't safe, and it could possibly hurt ur card. Go in small steps, and let it test all the way b4 u keep goinng.

i cant honestly tell, does anyone know a good setting for my card and what would be a good increase from 270/400

is it possible to mount a heatsink and then a fan in the middle as i have seen on some ati models.

1. Another proggie is RivaTuner
2. Yes it is possible to mount A hsf and fan but prolly more effective/easier to just get a new cooler

I'm still going to stick with no :-)..

K here's the scoop ;-).. My fiance buys a videocard a couple of years ago Geforce 4600ti something like that. once installed and drivers are installed there's overclock functions :-).. That's great but you suggested that he download the latest drivers.

Quote:

you might go to the nvidia website and download the new driver for all graphics cards. the driver basiclly supports all the nvidia cards, and should give you the nividia overclocking program

and that's just wrong :-).. the comany that made your video card added that but the latest from nvidia's website will not.

Sorry but no
