I was really really bored a couple of days ago and started to read about overclocking GPU's. I have a Geforce 2 GTS 32MB (200mhz Core 333mhz RAM) They are realitively simple to overclock, so I decided to have a go.

I then realised however that there was no point in overclocking the card unless I could monitior the perfomance gains. I then proceeded to DL 3DMark2001 (At an amazing 750k/sec, thank-you lord for University T3's)
It has many many settings and each produce slightly different results. I decided that sticking to the default would be the most sensible.

I was wondering if there were any followed standards employed when people use the benchmark ? Or do they test everything ?
at the moment my Card is at 230mhz core and 338mhz memory and I am getting 2884 3D marks.

I also see that Quake III is one of the most popular benchmarking programs. I was wondering how you go about setting it up for a benchmark ? as obviously every map will have different fps, and every situation more/less players, and even playing style will effect it. Also what graphics settings etc are used ?

if you intend to compare your results with other ppl ones youre better using the default benchmark for the 3dmark because thats the way ppl use to compare the results. otherwise they will list which settings were modified.

I agree
