You asked for more GeForce 8800 overclocking results and today, we've got them at higher clock speeds! See how the overclocked GeForce 8800 GTS compares to the stock GeForce 8800 GTX. Is it really able to overtake the more expensive GeForce 8800 card in our full gamut of tests?
As we?ve mentioned before, in order to overclock the GeForce 8800 cards, you?ll have to download NVIDIA?s nTune utility. The Coolbits registry hack doesn?t work and only prompts you to download nTune. In particular, you?ll need nTune 5.05 or better to overclock the GeForce 8800.
This isn?t a big deal if you already own an nForce motherboard, as nTune provides built-in overclocking options and BIOS settings for your motherboard all from within Windows, but for those of you who have already upgraded to P965 or 975X Core 2 motherboards this may be a bit of a disappointment as nTune is a 30MB+ app. In fact, it seems that as a result, some GeForce 8800 owners have turned to ATI Tool instead to overclock their graphics card.
