Well i7 took a top spot on K|ngp|n's contest. Granted he was on a SS running 5040mhz uncore

If I had 2- pots for my 260's as well as some RAM I feel I might have a chance.

Oh I'm sure. Lemme guess.... nature around 1040-1075?

Very Nice crio i think you got my backup by 3 points. I'll have to check when I get off. No worries though. I had a much better run going until nature crashed :(

any one had an issue when overclocking the GTX 280 your score decreases in 3DMark 2001?

if i increase my clocks above stock (even 25mhz) my score drops about 10K points

heat is not an issue temps are 45c load 30c idle and im using a 1300W PSU

I have used EVGA precision tweaker and Rivatuner to OC and I have the same Issue

Not with mine.
Took it to 990 core and went over in Nature LOL

I did not use Riva except for the LOD tweak, all Ocing was done with the EVGA Precision and the EVGA vmod tool.

you mean Rampage extreme :p

listen if you overdo cooling on nvidia they will start to dramatically slow down

so ease up on the temps

yes i mean Rampage Extreme, my bad

I was only running -20c to +20c on the GPU and tested all temps between and beyond with no effect on performance for clocking, i think it has to be the drivers :(
