Can't see much of a difference after ove ...

I have just overclocked my 8800gt to 700/1750/971 and i dont see a difference when i play crysis. Is there supposed to be a fairly noticeable increase after overclocking?Can't see much of a difference after ove ...

[QUOTE=''hotmustard'']I have just overclocked my 8800gt to 700/1750/971 and i dont see a difference when i play crysis. Is there supposed to be a fairly noticeable increase after overclocking?[/QUOTE]You have to take a few things into consideration here.

1. How much higher did you OC your card from the origianl clock speeds?
2. Is your GPU running stable with the new speeds?
3. Is your GPU staying cool enough with the new speeds?
4. Is your CPU bottlenecking your GPU?

If you're bottlenecking due to your CPU, then OC'ing your video card isn't going to help you much, if at all.You should be running with at least an AMD 64 X2 5000+ or an Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 (these are good ranges for a dual core), though any dual core would give a good boost to a higher end GPU.With my step up from an AMD 64 X2 3800+ to a 5600+, I saw an almost 18% increase in performance from my video card (8800GTS 640MB). I knew my old processor was bottlenecking my GPU, but I didn't realize it was that bad.
i have a core 2 duo e6750 and it was oc'ed almost 100mhz on the core clock and 45mhz on the mem bus
[QUOTE=''hotmustard'']i have a core 2 duo e6750 and it was oc'ed almost 100mhz on the core clock and 45mhz on the mem bus[/QUOTE]You really won't see much of a boost in performace with that small of an increase across the board....the core is good, but you shouldn't have a problem pushing the memory just as high, if not a bit higher with stable performances.I don't know what program you're using or if you're OC'ing manually, but here's what I'm working with and what I could theoretically (I spell that right?) take one of my 8800GTS 640MB cards to.Current: 513 (core)/1188 (shader)/792 (memory)Here's where I've been able to take my card to (but I don't run it at this level because I have 2 8800GTS in SLI): 721 (core)/1669 (shader)/ 979 (memory)I was running my original 8800GTS card near those high settings when I only had 1 card and it was running stable. I gained about a 6-8% increase in performace. I know that my GTS has a better heatsink/fan then the GT cards (unless you have a newer one with a good heatsink/fan), so I can push my card harder.You generally won't see a massive increase in performance with just OC'ing your GPU, but sometimes with the right setup, you can get a good noticable boost.
neatfeatguy speaks the truth. and yes, you spelt theoretically right haha ;)overclocking, a lot of the time, will not make much of a difference in real world apps, save for maybe 1 or 2fps in most games. more things come into play than just the GPU, as mentioned in detail above.with a GPU core around the 700mhz mark, you will start to create a bottleneck with your CPU, meaning you are limiting the cards bandwidth, not reaching its full potential. you have an e6700? try getting it to around 3-3.2ghz. that will allow for max performance from a single 8800 GT.to give yourself a more accurate testing of the increase in performance, you should run a 3dmark06 benchmark. overclocking is noticed more in synthetic testing.
You'll notice a lot more when you play at higher resolutions as the strain shifts to the gpu. Overclocking my gfx card gave me a 14% fps boost in Crysis at 1600x1200, while overclocking my cpu a full ghz from 2.4 to 3.4 gave me 0%.
That's because you're playing Crysis..........
[QUOTE=''X360PS3AMD05'']That's because you're playing Crysis..........[/QUOTE]Exactly. Personally I play Crysis on my 2 year old rig and it looks great with no overclocking. Unless you're trying to squeeze some more life out of your pc I'd lay off the overclocking, it's not going to work wonders. If you want to run a system hog of a game like Crysis on uber settings then you'll have to buy new components.
