Visiontek gf3 ti200 overclocks

[Apoptosis]

Didn't see this posted anywhere, so I thought it would be nice to gey a feel for what everyone is getting their new toy to handle
Mine is currently @ 241/500

What proggie are you using to OC with..?

 

[Apoptosis]

I used nvmax. It's pretty straight forward to use, just be careful because it offers some pretty high oc settings

 

[Zebo]

Not good here. Got in on the best buy deal and mine crashes out at 210/440. so I'm leaving it at default.

 

[Apoptosis]

What type of test are you guys running to test the stability of your oc. I used 3dmark 2001 and also ran a few q2 and q3 timedemos.

I have the pny gf3ti200 and i have run very stable at 200/460....i tried 220/500 and got visual artifacts during 3dmark2001.....i havent had time to figure out which is creating the artifacts, mem or core.....more later perhaps....

 

[jshrieve]

I have mine at 245/525. Another 5mhz on either and I start getting very faint visual artifacts.

I haven't done 'extensive' stability testing, but I did play Ghost Recon with most details max'd for about 5 hours.. even with my overclock, Ghost Recon still
only gets like 25fps with all the quality/details max'd =)

Unfortunately I might have to exchange it to do a faint wavyness/shimmer that seems to come and go. It's definitely influenced by the rest of the system, but my Kyro II is perfect. Sometimes by turning on or shutting down Rain 2.0, I can see an immediate change in the wavyness.

I'm going to try out my friend's card (same BB deal), and going to wait for my new XP system to be built (this week) before I exchange this fast card. ; ) I wouldn't be surprised if the problem disappeared on the new system.

vyrt1go,

If you see little white speckles, it's probably the core. If you see polygons or various small 'shapes' flicker white here or there, it's probably the memory.

You may not be able to clock both together as far as you can clock either one seperately. I was able to get another 10mhz out of each when I just doing that one, but had to back it off a bit to do both. Performance increase is much better when both are done though.

Question:

if you OC through the Nvidia driver, the highest core and mem go are 220 and 500 respectively

right?

 

[jshrieve]

I used nvmax.

 

[Rickr]

Also try RivaTuner

I got mine to 210/440. I haven't tried the core any higher, but the memory seems to top out at 440.

Using powerstrip to O/c

230/520.

 

[Bozo Galora]

there appears to be two versions out for this card
everyone in this thread edit your post with the manuf date # like N10061 (Oct 6 2001)
near edge of rear of card

 

[EdipisReks]

i'm running at 240/520, with stock cooling. i'll look for the manufacturing number tomorrow, if i get a chance.

N11071

 

[Bozo Galora]

yes, you have Nov 7 - very current - good O/C
I'd really like to know numbers from poor O/C group

 

[LukFilm]

Those are NOT good overclokers. I have three with N11071 and they ALL max out at 220/440, all of them. I test stability by running looping 3DMark2001 in benchmark mode overnight.

I've got that date too. Going strong at 230/520.

 

[Vraxx]

I think like most people i run mine at 200/460. Going higher on the core i do occasionally see little green specs.

 

[LukFilm]

<< I've got that date too. Going strong at 230/520. >>


Blah. WTF? I got three of them and none are going higher than 440 on the RAM? WTF?

 

[Uclagamer_99]

running at 210/430 right now

the memory is what gives me artifacts starting around 440mhz...i can up the core to 250 without artifacts but it won't survive an overnight 3dmark test

Not too sure bud. My housemate is getting 250/500 and going strong too. HE could have gotten higher cause that's NOT the limit of his card. I've hit the roof with mine.

Another friend of mine that bought the same card which sat next to mine in BB, he's gotten 220/445 and that's it. He hit the roof as well. Weird.........

 

[Bozo Galora]

on the GPU itself, some have "v" at bottom center (value)
others have "vp" (value plus)
unfortunately you have to remove HSF to see.

 

[Bozo Galora]

4 ns RAM

 

[pillage2001]

Anybody tried pulling out the RAMsink to take a good look at the RAM??
