Hi which is the best memory to have

[blackbull]

I have a X850XT PCI-E with a Artic Cooling Rev.2 ATI 5 VGA Silencer. Whilst fitting this I took the opportunity to record what type of GPU and memory I had
They read as follows:

GPU

ATi
R480
215RBHAGA11F
GG7757.1
0517AA

TAIWAN PCI
EXPRESS

Memory

SAMSUNG 516
K4J55323QF - GC16
AWC639PZA

My query is this, are these good for overclocking? I do know that the 16 in the memory serial number refers to the fact that the memory is 1.6ns would this be faster or slower than 2.0ns memory?

 

[Cyber-Mav]

1.6ns has a rated max speed of 1250mhz. it is faster than 2ns memory.

 

[233]

i read that wrong and was having all sorts of dirty thoughts

 

[Vegeta]

If the memory ends with GC20 - thats 2ns right? whats 2ns memory rated at?

 

[Goksly]

500mhz / 1000mhz iirc.

******, ahh well , suppose getting 1130 out of it is good.

Thanks for the replies. As I presently run at 560/621 stable this confirms Cyber-Mav assertion. However, I have 2 further related queries:

a) any suggestions on how I could possibly increase the speed of my GPU?

b) my 3dMark05 score is, at best, just over 5000 and usually around 4300. I have seen comparably overclocked cards or even stock X850XTs with much higher scores (6000 to 7000+ ) Why would this be?

This is a discription of my system.

The original graphics card has been upgraded with the X850XT/Arctic Cooling Rev.2 ATI 5 VGA Silencer and the stock HSF cooler has been replaced with an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro.

You should be getting more than 5K, I get 5k (exactly would you believe) on a 6800gt @ stock with a barton 3200 - I obviously use the card overclocked and get around 5700.
