View Full Version : Well I've finally tested out overclocking my G2 ultra...
Its pretty sweet I cant believe I put this off for so long.
Ok the v/c runs @ 250/458 stock so I ended up setting the memory to 515 I'm using power strip so it either 515 or 530 and 530 is border line unstable. I was suprised to see a 200 point 3dmark01 inprovement from this small tweak (default 3d01 - 4610 @ 250/515 - 4810).
Then I went for the core overclock well I've heard you dont get as much gain when overclocking the core but I tried it anyway and...
@ 275/515 my 3dmark01 score went up to 4910. Then I tried 300/515 and it seemed stable there was no gleches or anything and the score went up to 5010! Well thats when I stopped its @ default again I will run some more benchmarks and make sure I will be stable and I will check some fps in a few games to see what kind of improvements I can get.
Leadtek G2 ultra 250/458 @ 300/515

I got mine visiontek gf2 ultra to 310/515 completely stable with no artifacts in mark 2000 or mark 2001 highest score was just a little less thin 5000 but never recorded it

hey, I'm only running a at 1 gig in my system, and my card is not as good as a GTS (it might be I really don't know) But I got at least a score of 5200 last time I tested it.

There is no way a Geforce 2 MX 400 running at 1GHz could possibly get over 5000, probably not even over 4000 on a default 3D Mark 2001 benchmark.
I have a Geforce 2 Pro at 225/470 with a 1GHz O/C to 1.4GHz and my default scores are only about 4500 and that was also with some serious fan cooling at the time!
So I would say that he either ran it at the lowest possible resolution or he is using 3D Mark 2000.
If I am wrong prove it:)

why do you hate your card? It's a great card! Speaking of his mx400 score there's no way to get that with 3dMark2001 and default settings. If you look at madonion.com the highest registered is 4296 and that's with low z-buffer!
well I'll doubt check and get back to ya. I'm PRETTY sure it was 3dmark 2000 cuz in 2001 I usually don't score too well.
OH yeah I cranked up the FSB to 135. ( for all you that remember my bad time that I had with my hard drive crashing you probably wondering why I did this) Well I'm getting that Overclock itch again.
So I'll post after I test.

ohh that makes me feel better:)
well I dont hate my card as much now but I get some bad fps in CS during smoke granades in opengl and d3d is **** in that game
all I need is a voodoo 5 pci for opengl and my gf2 ultra for d3d:D
ok ok I did it and here are the results.
ok crap that didn't work. Let me try something else.
Some one want to tell me how to do this if I can't seem to get it? I'm trying to post my results of my score. I did a print screen then I opened word, what should i have it as?
Let me try this.
Rob
