GeForce 2 Pro How far can I go o?C

[subz]

Gidday, I have a Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 Pro 64
What I want to know is how far can ya push the 200/400 core/memory in these cards.
Has 5ns ram.

thanx

You can push it until it becomes unstable.

You will know when it's unstable, and if you look at a dark surface in the middle of Deusex or Unreal Tourney, you'll see 'tearing' of the textures. Little white dots that look like tv static, moving over the textures.

Every card is different and will run at different speeds in different setups. The only way to know what your card will do in your machine is try it.First bump up the memory a little at a time and benchmark it until it becomes unstable or shows artifacts or crashes.Then drop the memory a notch or two and increase the core clock until it becomes unstable or crashes.Be sure to benchmark between each increase.

I have a Hercules Geforce 2 Pro and can get it to 450/225 reasonably stable (sometimes I get artifact is UT) but I tend to stick at 440/220 just to be safe. I use Quake 3, 3DMark and UT to benchmark and test stability.

I have a hercules 3d prophet II gts pro 64MB DDR, the one with pretty blue ramsinks and a relatively nice gpu sink. I have a blowhole over my CPU HSF that helps a little with cooling the gts also. I get 230/485 easily with no artifacts, and have gone as high as 240/495 with a few quirks. I'm looking into watercooling, when I do I'll probably watercool the gpu as well, hopefully I can manage to crank out around 250/500 eventually. Oh, I've also modded mine into a quadro, and removed the EMI filter.

Even though I'm a newbie, at least my average post is intelligent!

Push the memroy up 5MHz at a time until you get artifacts in a good test like 3DMark 2000, then back it off 10Mhz from the point that artifacts begin. Then do the same with the GPU. Memory first, as this is were your greatest performance gains are found.
