AGP bus speed and GF3 Ti200 Overclocking?

[BlueWeasel]

My system:

P3 700@933
PNY GF3 Ti200 (stable at 200/485) using 21.83 drivers
512mb PC133
WinXP Pro

It seems like everyone but me can overclock their PNY Ti200 to Ti500 levels (240/560), and my card appears to be manufactured about the same time as others who cards can O/C this high. Because of my older BX motherboard, my AGP bus speed is 89mhz (133 FSB with 2/3 AGP divider). The card runs great so far.

Is it possible the high AGP bus speed is limiting the amount of overclocking I am getting?

Also, I am using the 21.83 drivers. Are there better ones to use for games like MOH, RTCW, etc. (like 22.50,23.12, etc.)??

Bump for more to see....

have you tried upping the agp voltage? not by much but up a little.

Well, my I/O voltage was reading at 3.3v when I went into the BIOS. I upped it to 3.5v, but it doesnt seem to help much. If I O/C it to 200/500 the game is certainly playable as it never locks up. I can see the artifacts and anomalies on flashing on the screen, however.

I doubt raising my I/O voltage more would help at all. Any other suggestions or have I just maxed out my card?

Yeah, I wouldn't raise it anymore, you might be right about your card at its peak.
