I have a 32MB GeForce2 GTS AGP card...unknown brand, probably VisionTek. According to PowerStrip, the card speed is currently default at 200/333.

What #s should I expect to OC this card to? GF2 GTS owners, please provide your experience w/ OCing and stable range for card.

There is a FAQ on this subject. Generally the core only goes to 220-225. Memory may slightly exceed 400....but not by much.

Well from reading around and experimenting with my 64meg geforce2 gts that you shouldn't overclock the core more than 220 seeing as the memory bandwidth is a major bottleneck with the gf2's I personally can run 220/395 before I get artifacts... you may be able to push your memory more but test it to see if you get artifacts if you do back her down in increments of 5mhz and if you bychance want to push the core over 220 (which I don't reccomend it should reach 235 or so... mine only goes to 240 before crashing... hope this helps

A good overclock which is very stable on most Geforce GTS (assuming you have 6ns memory) is 215Mhz Core and 366 MhZ memory

I've got a 32mb Creative GF2 GTS (modded w/ Blorb and Ramsinks) that I used to run @ 210/400. It would run up to 225/410 without artifacts, but the best 3DMark2001 score was @ 210/400. I've heard some cards lower the clock settings if they start to overheat. It is a great card for the money- you can find them on the FS Forum for $50.
