    Something better than powerstrip?

    Is there something out there better than powerstrip? I have curently maxed out the amount of memory MHz it will let me get(593) I dont know how much more my card can take but it runs good now at 320/593 withough any artifacts or anything.

    so is there a program that will let me go above 600 ?

    Try RivaTuner; a great little utility with a massive amount of options for tweaking/overclocking.

    I am not certain whether it sets card-specific limits, but the release I have (the latest one I think) has them at 415/830MHz. Should be plenty.

    [Edit]

    Man, you can't use a tool designed for one chip to work on another. Rage3d Tweak is designed for ATi Radeon-based cards, not nVidia cards, and RivaTuner is designed for nVidia-based cards, not ATi cards. Stick to RivaTuner.. best overclocking software for any nVidia-based card in my oppinion..

    Coolbits is built into the nVidia drivers and is activated with a simple registry hack. It can do 315/645 with my GeForce4 Ti4200. I do not know if they change the range for other cards, but I doubt it for those of you that actually have an nVidia based card.
