geforce overclock software

[jasonsRX7]

whats the best way to overclock a geforce 3 beyond the max that coolbits will let you select (220/500)? i used to use some tool, but can't remember what it was... Oh, and anything like powerstrip that must run all the time is no good. i don't like having lots of stuff running in the systray

everything i search on google turns up some foreign site or a review of overclocking that doesn't mention what they used

I use "Riva Tuner" and have had great success with it. It doesn't have to run in your sys tray and works with all current and past drivers. Get it at www.guru3d.com

Thats simple.... call it a Radeon 9700 Maxx, do some 'minor' modifications to the PCB, change the drivers over to the Catalyst 3.0's, install DX9, and away you go, 17,843 3DMarks. 🙂

Magnumike7, thanks I'll try it.

Alkali, I don't need to pay more than $200 for a vid card. I'll plunk down 2g for a monitor, but I don't game enough to get a faster vid card. I just wanna see what I can get out of my Ti200.

Whats wrong with using coolbits, which is included with the nvidia drivers?

CoolBits

Nothing is wrong with using coolbits, but it won't let you go higher than 220 core and 500 memory. i wanted to see how high i could get it

Very smooth, way to rub your nice score in the faces of the rest of us 😉

Anyway Jasons, I have had great luck with my Ti4200, I am running at 300/650 right now. It is still the best bang for the buck card out there, although the 9500 pro is starting to look good with DX9 support.

Powerstrip -Fixes refresh rate problem for all drivers... always has. Is a must for people using dual monitor with HDTV. And it supports OC'ing!
