Just got a GTO2 (whats your numbers?)

[kud0s69]

Hey just came back from Anitec with my new GTO2. ATI tool shows 16 pipes. I haven't tweaked it much but ran ATI Tool Core test till it crashed at 530 core?

What is a typical safe core for this card? I am sure I could run stable at 500 but just wondering what your opinions are?

I've run 3dmark05/3dmark06 at 530/615, but using ATITool, the max I get until I crash is 525/600.

When playing games, I set it at 500/600

cool thanks I will try 500/600 sometime Just got it and find it to be a big upgrade from my 9800pro. So I am happy with it so far with no OC

Currently 572/610, though the person I bought this card from (zhy) put in a vmod and a viperjohn heatsink. I am running the heatsink at about half voltage though most of the time.

With a bit better cooling (it's a bit of a tight fit between the top of the heatsink and my soundblaster card), it was running at 612/612 I believe.

Update: With a bit more tweaking, no artifacts show up until memory passes 635, though it seems the core can't handle much more then 580 without crossing into crashing after about 5 minutes of artifact detection in ati tray tools.

So now running at 572/621 stable for everyday usage and gaming.

You wouldn't happen to have any pictures of your card, would you?
Where did you get the VJ Heatsink?

See this thread where I bought it. Again, It was not vmodded or heatsinked by me, but rather by the person I bought it from, Zhy.
