normally it is 1.5 but can vary depending on how stable the power supply voltages are

um the cats wouln't and cant chage that... it's a bios setting

and the defult is 1.5v

giveing you card to much can kill it shorten it live... then agin if it has to little it could couse stabilty issues....

it's best to leave it @ defult unless your haveing certain issues or overclocking
