Which detonators for the Geforce 3 line of cards?

[erikiksaz]

I'm trying to squeeze out what's left of this card, so i guess drivers are the way to go. I'd overclock, but from what i've read, the increases weren't too great. I'm currently running 29.42's, but is there anything out there that's faster?

Try the Detonator 40.72's.

Wha..huh??? Who the hell told you that? I have my Ti200 o/c'ed from 175/400 ---> 220/530 and get roughly an extra 1200 3DMarks as a result. You'll get a much better increase from o/c'ing than from updating your drivers. But, for the record, I am using the 40.72's and they are awesome.

I have upgraded the 40.72's and yes, they are awesome. Nfs-hp2 runs muuuchh smoother. But, i was reading Anand's article on oc'ing the gf3. It wasn't too amazing. And i could really care less about 3dmark increases. From the benchies of real games, the improvement seemed neglible.

How and what did you use to oc it? I got a GeF 3 Ti200 to and I want to try to oc it.

'nuther 40.72 😀

(I use RivaTuner It'll let you fix your refresh rate, and OC in a single app. (It will do ALOT more, but I don't recommend messing with the registry or registers unless you really know what you are doing.

Hmm INsid, do you play rocket arena by any chance?

 

[Insidious]

I don't know that one.

Mostly shooters and racing for me.

Yah, I'm using Rivatuner now. Start with either the memory or core...don;t do both at the same time. Then loop 3DMark a few times to test for stability in-between bumps.

Another vote for overclocking.

I've got my Ti200 up from 175/200 to 250/250, and trust me, the difference is very noticeable, heck my card is faster than a non overclocked Ti500 🙂

Any cooling modifications? I got a CORB on mine right now, but I did the 7 volt mod on it.

Well, might as well give oc'ing a try soon. Same question though, i have done the 7 volt on my Blue orb (original non-ti gf3)
