    plain vanilla 8800 gts, whats the limit?

    got a asus 8800 gts, it is compleatly stock and runs pretty good anyway.

    couldnt resist so i started to raise the core and memory, thing is i cant find its limit and im scared to go higher!.

    so far i have 610mhz on the core and 2ghz on the ram!!!.

    surely this cant be right???, i have left 3dmark06 running for 2 hours and it was fine, plus stalker runs great.

    am i just lucky or do all these cards o/c well?

    Question is how hot is it getting, mine tops out at 635/2100, and loads at 45c. (under water).

    And what software you using to overclock with, ATI Tool is recommended by me.

    640/2000 here and it would go further.
    Put it back to stock as there is no real need(in my case) to run it any faster at the moment.
    55C under load at that(water)
