Well, I should have great airflow in my sawtooth case...it has a 120mm fan blowing air right onto this card. I benchmarked at 217.5MHz and noticed a slight decrease in speed. 295/215 really seems like what Ill be staying at. I benched at 300/215 with anisotropic filtering and fog on, but it only benched slightly faster than 295 and not as much as 295 did better than 300 when fog and filtering was off. I am getting the impression that once my card starts heating up it starts benching slower so right now I am looking for a speed that will run cool also. The heatsink on the card does not accept airflow from the way it is coming, it should be turned sideways. So I think a different heatsink would help 'oc the processor a lot. Have you benched your card at different settings? I probably could run my card at 325 / 225 before I start noticing artifacts, but my benchmarks seem to suggest that I would not benchmark any faster.
