indeed! It comes with shitty games too like joint operations which I hopefully should be able sell for £30 or w/e recouping the extra costs. besides this is a decent card and can be overclocked past 500mhz (from 430). I wont try it since i'm not a graphics whore and it should be fast enough anyway Smile

I wouldn't bother OC'ing just yet dude, its not needed and it could damage the card (or at least make it last less time..). I wouldn't overclock until you need too!

Clocking depends on efficient cooling solutions Smile My gtx is clocked to 510+40 -> 550 mhz Core / 1380 mhz Ram, using innovatek's Cool-Matic watercooler. Make it two of them in about one or 2 month. I know it's a bit crazy Wink btw, it's nearly impossible to damage a card by overclocking if you don't raise/mod the core voltage and use a good watercooler. My overclocked card doesn't even reach 52°C on load, 34°C idle Razz

Dude make sure the shuttle PSU can cope with the strain of OC'ing.. I blew mine last night (well damaged it) and now its causing some serious issues in my case. Im pretty sure its the PSU anyway, Ill run some tests tonight!

The constant changing from 350 to 400 done it in! Sad! Stupid thing!
