Hey guys,

On Boxing Day, I bought a brand new video card from NCIX.com
http://www.ncix.com/products/index....GTO256E-OEM&manufacture=SAPPHIRE&promoid=1065

I bought this card because I heard it can unlock 4 more pipelines and overclock to speeds of an xt. So I bought it, I didn't try unlocking the 4 piples, and overclocked it at 480 core/ 550 mem. I stoped there and ran battlefield 2. Then it frozed at the "EA Games! Challenge Everything." After 5 seconds, the monitor automaticly shut off. It also froze when I ran 3d mark 05.
Is my overclock too high? Other people got theirs alot higher than mine.

Any help would be nice.
 
I got mine at 550MHz GPU core, and a 600MHz core memory. Mine can't unlock though.

It WILL lock up if I crank my processor to 2.68GHz, but all in all a 550MHz GPU core, and a 1.2Ghz (600x2) memory core with an AMD 64 @ 2.6Ghz is nice.

It doesn't freeze up. :) But how are others getting such high clocks than mine?

Are the cards exactly same? Same manufacturer etc?
And if they raise the voltage then the card will oc better.
What temps are u running? Also overheating can cause the card to freeze. (and because of that u can't oc as high as they can)
