BFG 6800OC Not overclocking?!

[The_Lurker]

So right now I've unlocked my BFG, which works great. Now when I try to overclock it to say 400/800, it seems to work ok. In riva tuner, it says i'm at the clock speed, and my scores seem to reflect a decent increase (about 1000 points in 3dMark 2k3, from 9900 to 10900). Now the weird thing is with hardware monitoring turned ON in Riva Tuner. It says my memory clock is 800, but my core clock is only 350?! Any ideas?

The core "throttles" while in 2D mode. Enable the hardware monitoring and run a 3d aplication. You should see the core "throttle" up to your 400 Mhz setting.

Yeah, I turned that on. See it works in 3dmark 2003, but in Couterstrike or HL2, it doesn't overclock but still stays at 351.

how do you know that. you have to switch back to desktop? making it 2d again?

 

[The_Lurker]

If you use Riva Tuner, you can save the history of the clock speed, mem speed, temperature and stuff, so I know that the clock is 350.
