Currently my card is running 300 mhz core clock speed and 1 ghz memory clock speed. I have the 128 meg/PCI Express version if that helps at all.

Currently my card is running 300 mhz core clock speed and 1 ghz memory clock speed. I have the 128 meg/PCI Express version if that helps at all.
300MHz is well below standard. :unsure:
Mine is currently running at 550 MHz & 1 GHz.
ewwww, you get a PNY card or somethin? :sick:
that's what I got, and it was underclocked like hell (300/900)
isn't that the 6600's factory clock, and not the GT's? hmmm....
anyhoot, if you run the reg tweak then go to clock settings,
there's a button to check for optimal frequency,
and it'll give you about 500/1000, maybe a little more
(mine's set to 500/900, the default "performance 3D setting", couldn't be f*cked to scan frequencies) :P
plus the stock cooling on the PNY sux balls, so.....
edit - just ran the scan, it gives me 571 MHz/ 1.04 GHz :happy:
I think I got something like that, but the card was pretty cool at the time. I knew it wouldn't sustain those speeds when it got hot, so I knocked it back a touch.Quote:

Ok, nvm about that. I clicked manual overclocking and it said my card was 500/1000 and auto detected it to 559/1.12. :)
I already had nvtweak but thanks for reminding me that it automatically detects the best frequency. I never really noticed it a lot.
What's with the double posts within one minute of each other? Use the http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/images/buttons/edit.gif button.
You could get a replacement fan under warranty.
Or better yet... Replace it with a better cooler.
How long is the warranty? I've had the card for almost a year now. I really would like a better card but just can't afford it.
Bargain !!!
mine WAS 300MHz/1GHz
tried -
manual overclocking
settings - performance(3D)
detect optimal frequencies
it's now 542MHz/1.09GHz
yeah, tuned mine down too, mostly 'cause I don't trust the PNY stock cooling :PQuote:

can't wait 'til I get the dough for my X1800 :(
The 6600GT's overheat a lot, IMO. My card atleast. I guess if my card frys, it gives me an excuse to buy a new card. :rolleyes:Quote:
