Geforce 3

Slider · 05-April-03, 10:47 PM

I just got a new Geforce 3 TDH. I wish I could afford a Radeon 9700 Pro, but we do what we can. Question I have is does anybody know how far I can push it overclocking with just the factory fan/heatsink?

Classic Geforce3 or is it one of the Ti's ?

Not a Ti. Performance wise it falls between the Ti200 and Ti500

slider - Then its a standard Geforce 3...
The best to the worst of the GeForce 3 line:
1#: GeForce 3 Ti 500
2#: GeForce 3 Deluxe
3#: GeForce 3
4#: GeForce 3 Ti 200 (yes this is the worst Ge3...but most overclockable)

I'd say you could hit 220MHz Core 520MHz Memory easily, maxing out at around 240 Core/540 Memory
Start at 220MHz/520MHz and work your way up in 5MHz increments, testing each boost.
As soon as you see artifacts or lock up, go down 5MHz or to what you were last running the card stable at.

Hope this cover's it.

I've had it running at 240/490 pretty stable for a week or so.
