Programs to check your overclockedness... or, in other words, benchmarks, etc..

where can I find programs that could test the differences between a regular video card and a overclocked one? like, fps, etc..?

and besides Sandra and WCPUID, are there any programs that can test how fast your memory is running? like CAS 222 @ 150mhz, etc..?

any links, or any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

thanks!

Your BIOS should tell you (and allow you to set) your RAM speed and timings.

3DMark2000 is a good program to test a regular video card vs. a non-overclocked one. Other than that, Quake 3 and Unreal Tournament are good video card benchmarks.

Well, my bios allows me to set it at either 100mhz, or 133mhz, and to set the RAS to CAS Latency at 2, and another option at 2, ... where's the third 2? and how does one claim it to be X-X-X @ 150, or 143, if there isn't even a setting that high? sorry for being so stupid, but im just curious..

With 3DMark2000, the higher or lower the # the better? With my Elsa Gladiac 32mb, I got 2594, and with my Radeon AIW, I got somehwere around 2783... I would guess higher right?

and with Q3 and UT, how do you benchmark your video card? just play the game and use ur own judgement?

thanks for the info,

your memory speed increases with your FSB, that's how people get 150 mhz 2-2-2 and stuff
