Overclocking my already overclocked 8800gts...

The real question you have to ask yourself is...

Can I afford a new one ?

I think overclocking it to 600mhz wont kill it...

yea, they cost as much as a 8700 use to.. (less that 200 dollars I know that)

I dont think i can find the BFG 640mb factory overclocked version anymore though.

Try less than $100 for one much faster than you 8800. Actually, you have a gts model, so i take that back. That one should still hold its own in most cases. You will need to spend $200.

The 8800 gts is on the bottom, but its still not bad since its in 5 digits.

Buy another 8800 GTS and do it with that. They should be cheap these days. I bet that would perform well too!

But I would be better buying 2 gts es, cause this card is 2 years old and probably on its way out the door.

maby nvidias 3xx series cards will come out.
