GPU Overclock? Please help me out.

[AceSpade77]

Hello, I have two Nvidia Geforce EVGA GTS 250 cards running SLI, Direct X 11, and PhysX.

But i would still like to push the cards a little more, because I am only using a 23" inch monitor and im running sli, so that simply means im using two decent cards to make a good picture on a pretty small LCD. and sinse im in SLI mode the GPUs are splitting the work load, So all in all I think i can safley push a little more out of my two GPUs because i also have a 200m fan on them.

If you know how I can properly overclock these cards please reply (I am using a M4N82 DELUXE motherboard with a 3.5ghz cpu) , Please do not tell me to use Amd overdrive becuase that is for a lower series motherboard and my pc will not run it.

My current idle Gpu temp is 34c for both cards, on good games maxed out they run around 55c

Thank you for your help it is very much appreciated. (Sorry for mis-spelling, i type fast)

uhhh, the 200 series don't have Dx11. you need an Ati 5000 series card, or you need to wait for the GTX 400 series cards.

If you sell both of those 250's, you could buy a 5850 or 5870, which are vastly more powerful (the 5870 is equal to a GTX 295) and use less power. and with Eyefinity you can run up to 3 monitors off a single card.

But to overclock, use AtiTool or RivaTuner. then use Furmark or 3DMark06 to test stability. If you get any artifacts, lower the clocks by about 10mhz on the core and 25mhz on the memory (don't forget the shaders as well)

Well when i go into the NVIDIA controller it says direct x 11 but then i checked the dxdiag and canyourunit.com and i am running dx 10 but owell....

Thanks for your help, I enjoy my two 250 gts so i dont want a diff card right now but i dont mind your opinion
