My powercolor geforce 2's default clock speed is not normal. when I use nvidia overclocking menu, it shows up as 122 core and 306 memory clock.
Even if I pull both sliders all the way up, I can only get it up to 155/385. Isn't geforce 2 suppose to be 200/333? Or is it just that my geforce 2 is a cheap crap? Please help me asap, so I can swap it if its not normal to be like this.

dude, that is ridiculously weird

have you tried to manually set the speed using powerstrip?

get Sandra and see how yoru card is identified. how is it identified in windows-system?

u sure you don't have some weirdass MX?

I can change it with powerstrip and it shows as it is changed in Sandra. But still, I feel unhappy about having to use 3rd party software when it is supposed to have 200/333 clock speed. I don't think it is some weird-mx because I benchmarked quake3 demo001 with 1024x768 32bit and I got 82.5 or something.
Is this the usual frame rate I should be getting. And my 3dmark score was 6280 or something. Just for reference my computer is

duron 650@900
abit kt7-raid

pinky:Dont panic dude!!! :)
i have the same card and freaked out too!!! its a fault with the powercolor bios...flash to a reference gf2 bios and all is well,in fact this puppy overclocks quite well..if you dont feel like flashing your bios,check out the gforce faq on the net and find an alternative,otherwise use power strip and know that nothing is wrong with your card :)..hope this helps...
