Well, I just got mines today..so far I got it up to 260/560 stock cooling, I don't want to push it anymore until I get my crystal orb and slap some real thermal paste on the GTU instead of the tape thats on there now. Please mention if you are water-cooling or air-cooled. Oh...Im really only interseted in *stable overclocks, not that "let me cook it in 3DMark2001 to get a good score and then tune it down" stuff. Thanks.:)

Got my Gainward G3 Ti/550 up to 270/602 with no artifacts in 800X600 3DMark2k1. I haven't done any serious testing in games at that setting.
It would only do 265/590 in default mode 3DMark2k1, no artifacts.
Stock cooling/air.
Again, no testing in games just 3DMark2k1. I'm going to wait 'til I replace the 'sinks tape or glue with ASII, then I'll test in games.

Leadtek GeForce 3 Ti500 running stable at 250/550 with stock heatsink/fan. Ran 3DMark2000 and 2001 for two hours each tonight and I stopped it. Played NASCAR 4 for 3-4 hours last night with no lockups. If I can play a game for more than a couple hours straight I consider my system stable. Doubt I try to go any higher. Good cards, huh?

that card should be able to go higher try putting a fan on the side of it.

what cooling you using also what drivers you like these seem stable to me

Xtasy Ti 500 @ 265/580 stock cooling w/105 FSB on a GA-8TX Pos4 1.4 @ 1470 128MB w/23.11 drivers. Didn't notice much difference between 22.80, 23.10 or 23.11, 7218 2k1 3dmarks for now. Can't run the core any higher than 265 atm, going to keep creeping the mem clock till it loses stability.

New box in the works so it will all change again anyway :)

I have a Standard Geforce 3 by Hercules (Prophet 3). It has a Crystal Orb and stock Ramsinks. The Ramsinks are Arctic Alumina Epoxied on, and the crystal orb is using radio shack stuff. I got to 310 / 610 . (core/dac). Interesting how a standard GF3 beats a ti500..

The ti is a revision ,basically the same card revised ,but a ti will outscore most regular gf3's ,my ti200 @ 233/533 has a 3d mark score of 8311 ,not to bad.I would hit 9k if I had an xp I am almost positive.

you may have a faster overclocked vidcard but i bet the scores aren't the same as the Ti's

GF3 ti500s are the same as standard Geforce 3's, except they use faster RAM (3.6ns), and they have an overclocked core. So if i had the clock rate faster than yours, yes, it would be faster.

No thats not true ,if it were the ti200 would not be faster at 175/400 ,the whole board and traces are revised.
