I've been overclocking my card and fine tuning it for the best performance for the last two days. I now have it clocked at 220/472, I can probably raise the core to 240 but I can't raise the ram or else I'll get artifacts and clipping.

My 3dmark score was raised from about 5300 to 6200 from when i bought the card and now overclocking it.

I think thats a pretty sweet overclock, considering it's free :)

Do you think I can play Doom 3 with this card at 800x600 rez? I'm pretty sure Carmack said it would run on a Geforce 3 fine, and this overclock makes it a bit speedier than a Geforce 3(200/460), but that was a long time ago I think. I dunno. I just hope this rig can last for at least another year before I upgrade.

didnt john carmack say that Doom III was supposed to be based on the GF3 originally? I know hes gonna take advantage of the GF4, but if it started out for GF3, then youre good to go my man :)
