Nvidia Geforce 5500 FX Overclock

[P11]

ure card should already be at 270/400 that default 2D. Maybe try downloading the latest drivers from www.nvidia.com.

Why wouldnt my detect optimal settings be as high as P11's

Just because person A with card "X" gets a certain OC doesnt mean person B with card "X" will get that same OC

And why would the tests fail? I have an Identical video card and a bit more computer than he does.

As I said... model means nothing because the amount of OC is card-specific

After that I left it like that for 1 day just to break it in.

Running in windows (i.e., 2D) doesnt test the card

But shouldnt I be able to get at least 270/400? That is the base spec. for the card.

270/400 is not overclocked at all.

When your referring to the memory thats ddrII right? so the memory would actually be 2x. Example 270/200 = 270/400 rite?

In coolbits when I detect optimal frequencies I get 271/314 in performance 3d are you saying that is actually 271/628 because I have DDR ram. If so am I going way too high?

Also what do you all recommend as the best overclocking program for Nvidia cards? Cool Bits or Riva Tuner?
