Anyone got a PNY GF5900ultra ??

Picked one of these up for 199 quid at my local cash convertors.
(they had 3..all brand new)

After install i ran the auto overclock function and was quite surprised by the
outcome.


Co 545 Mhz (450 default)
Mem: 1.00 Ghz (850 default)

I'm interested to see if this is good,bad or average overclockabilitinessnes.

The auto-overclock is useless. Wildly optimistic.

Check with benchmarks ( Aquamark3 etc ) and real apps. Halo is a
very good real-apps test. Use very high-res screen settings in the
test. Freeze-up on the cut-scenes is normally a memory-timing
violation.

The best moment to press the "auto overclock" button is after a few
hours of gaming, then the card is warm and THEN the best overclock can
be decided.

So go back to original settings, play a few hours a heavy game and
come back, while the card is still warm press "auto overclock" and see
more safe speeds!
