:Q
WOW!
I just went to my local PC-World, and I saw this lonely TNT2 M64 graphics card for £7.50 (about $12.50).
I thought it would be fun to mess around with.
It's an Inno3D Tornado TNT2 M64: TNT2 Vanta M64 GPU, AGP2x, 16Mb 7.5nS SDRAM (4x 4Mb chips, no name). Default clock speed is 100MHz GPU, 125MHz RAM.
So you're thinking 'yeah, so it's a piece of crap, whats so special?'
OK, the TNT2 is nearing it's third year with us, and the Vanta M64 performs worse that a Voodoo3 3000.
Anyways, back to the point.
I got the card home, and put it in my kid's old Celery 300A O/C to 506.
I hot glued an old OEM 60MM CPU fan onto the heatsink, so it was blowing the RAM also.
Put it in the PC, installed the DetonatorXP 28.83 drivers, and bencmarked it with 3DMark 2000. 1024x768x16bpp=1773=crap.
I then downloaded a little O/C util. I've currently got the card running at 155GPU/170RAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thats a 55% O/C on the GPU and a 36% O/C on the RAM.
Benchmarked it again same rez/bpp=2460=almost an MX200. Whopeee doo.
Have any of you got tips on how I can get the RAM over 170 / GPU over 158(it's threshold, so 155 is more stable) Anything over 173/158 and the system hangs after 5 secs of 3DMark.
