I was wondering if some people would help me by posting successful overclocking specs for this card. I want to see how far people have pushed theirs successfully so I know what range is safe, and yes I know that everyone's overclocking experiences can be different. Mine is currently at stock speeds which I believe is 350/1000.

Also, what program did you use, such as Coolbits or RivaTuner? Any suggestions/comments would be appreciated. 😀
 
I've just used one of the two options from Nvidia, the one built in to the drivers and the software based one.

I've pushed my two xfx's as high as 430 and 1200 (where it stayed solid for long enough to bench without artifacts) from stock 350 and 1000. But i have aftermarket Stasis copper on them. With the stock setup i was having trouble keeping them stable at 380 and 1100. The memory should have been affected less (if at all)...so i probably just didn't push the memory hard enough before.
 
419/1090 with a Zalman VF700-CU.

I think I got weak GDDR though because if I go higher than that I don't get artifacts in 3DMark05, but my score does start dropping.
