Does GeForce3 overclock WELL?

[VBboy]

I'm trying to decide which GeForce3 to waste money on.

Can you guys post the brand/model of your GeForce3 as well as overclocking results? Thanks!

I have a Visiontek and it will do 225x530 no problem I have not tried to go higher...

Good old Renob!
I ordered a Glaciator and will have it in a couple of days, we'll see if it's as good as you made it sound 🙂

Why don't you try to overclock the videocard a little more?

My visiontek is at 220/530 no problem. haven't even tried higher.
Don't want to fry this puppy. I'm sure I can do higher though.

I have the ASUS v8200 Deluxe. I also have gone to 225/530 no problem at all. 😉

As long as you're, as you say, wasting money, don't bother overclocking, and when the next best thing comes out, waste more money on that...

I've just got a Elsa Gladiac 920, it overclocks to 240/550 core/mem stable with stock cooling. At 245 core the card locks up on the second pass of 3DMark2001, i don't want to push the memory any higher because i've only had the card for a week and i don't want to wreck it!!

The Elsa comes with 3.8ns DDR-Ram, which is good for 530 non rated overclock, they have just conservatively clock the memory, or they could have gotten away with slower memory.

I just got mine to 250MHz core and 540MHz memory with "a little mod". I'm going to try different voltage settings to see if I can get it a little higher.

Vboy I dont mind frying a cpu but a $400 vidcard is a little much also at that speed and the speed or my cpu my framerates are KILLER
BTW you will love your Glaciator.
