GeForce2 GTS Handle high agp speeds?

[Grendel99]

I was wondering how well the Geforce2 cards handle an overclocked AGP speed. I have a Abit BX6 rev 2 mobo and the only 2 agp dividers I have are 1/1 and 2/3, so my video card is being pushed pretty hard. I was thinking of getting the LeadTek WinFast GeForce 2 GTS 32mb DDR board. Anyone have any experience with this board? And how does it handle higher agp speeds? Or do ALL GeForce 2's just about handle the AGP speeds good?

Thanks

Oh yeah, I'm running a P3-700E @ 868 right now, chip will do 933 but video card doesn't like the higher speeds. Or at least I think, becuase I can get into windows and run most of my games except Quake3. It freezes right after it loads a game. But running at 868 (124 FSB) it runs fine.

Someone? Anyone? Please?

Gladiac GeForce 2 GTS runs on BF6 (same dividers as BX6).

PIII-700 o/c to 140x7=980MHz.

The way you describe it! Unless your CPU can do Quake at 933 with another Video card, it could be the limit of the CPU.

Try giving your CPU a bit more voltage
I tend to think it is your CPU wont do 933 instead of the GF2 doesnt like 89Mhz AGP.


I got similiar setup as you (ABit BX 6/2 + Asus V7700Pure + Intel P3/700E) but due to my crappy PC100 RAM, I can only do 868MHz/124 stable. I cant even do 903/127 stable :/

I tried giving it more voltage but didn't help either. I don't have a GF2 GTS in my system now. I have the Diamon Viper V770 ULTRA 32MB that I think is causing me not to be be able to go any higher.

I'll try and nab my friends Geforce 2 Pro (Hercules). And try that.

I have PC-133 ram, so that couldn't be my limiting factor either.

Thanks

MOST Geforce2 cards are pretty good on taking out of spec AGP bus speeds, there is never a certainty though.
