I have one of these in a secondary computer. I can overclock the core and the shaders from the standard 459mhz and 918mhz to a massive 700mhz core and 1400mhz shader clock. I tried 750mhz core and 1500mhz shader clock but this lead to issues after around 10 minutes. Since it is only a DDR2 model I got the memory upto 1000mhz(from 800mhz). I get a 50% increase in 3Dmark06 scores and can play UT3 on maximum settings at 1024x768. Not bad for a card which cost me £25 on Ebay. Are the 8600GT and 8600GTS this overclockable too??
Also does anyone know how to increase the shader overclock range in Rivatuner.It maxes out at 1380mhz for me??!!
