Gefore GO 7800

[Aimster]

I overclocked it to 300/750 and it has been on all day long. I played games, etc.

I am sure I can go much higher. What is a safe setting to be at?

& why is the graphic card underclocked so much?

To answer my own question.

Many people are doing
345 for core

and 880-950 for memory

That is a major increase from stock settings.

Dell has a tendancy to underclock its cards (save for the higher end ones). I really don't know why, as all its really doing is robbing people of performance that they COULD have... However, it's likely safer on Dell's part if cards are very conservatively clocked for the mainstream market as there's less likely a chance of failure due to aggressive clock speeds. For the higher end XPS, well, those are for a special crowd, the gamers, and can deal with more failures I suppose...

Put it this way - I wouldn't overclock my graphics card in my laptop anymore. Those burning laptops are a bit too much for me. Sure it'll be fine if the battery is taken out, but I'm not risking overclocking anything in my laptop when the battery is there.
Enjoy your overclocking
