Overclocked GF2 Ti200 never keeps settings

[loic2003]

Heya, I have a Geforce 2 Ti 200 (stop laughing) and I've overclocked it a bit using the Nvidia tweaking settings that are enabled after adding a registry setting. The thing is whenever I reboot the computer, it goes back to the default non-overcocked settings each time. Does anyone know of a fix to solve this (other than buying a 9800 pro)?

Also, the maximum stable settings I have found anyone on the internet to have reached is GPU:224MHz, Memory: 523 MHz. Has anyone acheived higher stable results from the same model of card? Basically I'm being lazy and can't be bethered incrementing each one bit by bit and testing it as I'm sure many other people have done it in the past!

Thanks for all your help!

dowload powerstrip and use that to overclock. save a profile.. it will load the saved settings everytime you reboot

Get XBios editor. Save the current card's bios from the memory, change the clock speeds to the ones you tested and know is stable. Save a copy and lastly flash it with that edited bios.

Soft overclocks sometimes result in a blink on startup and I find that annoying. I prefer flashing new clock speeds into the card. Make sure you save a copy of the original BIOS just in case. Editing the clock speeds through a flash is not hard at all. And there is the security of not worrying about ending up with a dead card since the BIOS came from your card.

Your card is probably locked via its bios...like mentioned above, any overclocking program that saves an overclocking profile to boot with will work, or flash the card

and you can do this with a GeForce 2 Ti 200, yeah?

I have a normal GeForce3 and can only achieve 225/505 with stock cooling. How the hell can u reach 525 if you have a ti200? I thought the normal G3 was better than ti200?

The Geforce 2 Ti's were excellent, probably flip a coin between GF3 and 2Ti, though I'd lean towards Ti. I still have my Ti it's a speed demon w/o OCing still, just sad that the industry is getting overrun w/radeons!

there is no such thing as a geforce2 ti200, the ti200 is a geforce3 and as fsstrike said it was slower than a normal geforce3.

I am pretty sure there is I have seen them before while looking through pricewatch. I thought it was quite odd my self but it was surly a GF2 NOT a GF3.

A real ti 200? no picture who knows, all I knew of was what I have which is GeForce 2 Ti w/o any numbers with it. I do know they did make GF3's with Ti200s.

sorry, i was wrong, the geforce2 ti was called a 200.
