What is the reg hack line you need to put in to OC a GF card?

[MichaelD]

I'm bored and want to try to OC my videocard, as I think it's now the bottleneck in my system. "Bottleneck" being a relative term.

I have:

Shuttle AK35GTR (nothing OC'd)
Athlon 1800XP
512mb PC2100
Original GF3, not a "TI"

There's a line you put in the GF3 driver registry. What is that line? Maybe I'm all wrong on this...the last time I did this was w/my GF2 about a year ago. me\<---has zero short-term memory


What was I saying? 😉 Thanks.

Stupid Question of the Day:

On 3Dchipset's site, it says this about Coolbits:

Supports


GeForce 2 Ultra
GeForce 2 Pro
GeForce 2 MX
GeForce 256
GeForce 2


It doesn't say GF3. Is the GF3 supported under coolbits? Thanks!

I haven't heard any different, give it a shot & see what happens. When was the article published? I notice there's no GF2 Ti listed there, but I know for sure it works on the Ti because I did it yesterday to my roommate's system.

Give it a shot, the worst that can happen is you'll have to take it back out.

[EDIT]Jun 1st, 2000... That's a little before GF3 time, isn't it?[/EDIT]

If you want to do it manually, here's the actual registry entry.

Yes, it works fine for all GF3s

Thanks Gentlemen. I appreciate the thumbs-up and the linky ViperGTS 🙂 Now, let's see if I can juice this thing up w/o letting the smoke out.


Side note: It's funny reading that article that ViperGTS linked to; it's almost two years old and the article itself is amusing.



<< So you are interested in getting the most out of your new powerhouse. There is no question that the GeForce 2 GTS is the most powerful 3D video card processor out there >>




GF2...powerhouse........teeheeheehee. 🙂 No offense, of course, to those still running a GF2. My original GF2GTS is alive and well in my second rig...it's an awesome card.
