Thats the gfx card im using on a Amd 1800+ with Epox 8k3a+ mobo with PC2700ddr

I was just wondering how much can i overclock that gfx card without making damge to it..

standard is 270/400
ive pushed it to 300/430
and it worked...then i realized that the card might get damaged so thats why im asking now. how much can a gf4mx 440 64mb handle with standard cooling fan.

Thanks for answeres

I noticed that you haven't had any replies for a few days now, so I thought I'd try to lend a hand.

Sometimes on the video card's RAM, you can see a figure like "3.6" or "4" -- that is the RAM's nanosecond rating. If you can identify what your RAM is rated at, it will give us a great idea as to what you could probably clock it up to.

It is unlikely --although not impossible-- that you'll damage your card over a short period of time. Highly subjective although it may be, try touching the RAM and heatsink on your overclocked card to see if it is unbearably hot. Also, run your card through some 3D benchmark (e.g., 3DMark2001) to test for stability. If you start to see artifacts, garbled graphics, or discolored textures --or if your PC locks up-- your card probably is not capable of said overclock. If it runs a few tests fine, and the card is not abnormally hot, the overclock is probably safe.
