Taking it old-school Geforce 256

[Carmine_Paterno]

I just got a Geforce 256 for free, and so far with stock cooling it does 160/190 from the default 120/166. I have this card in my Celeron 266 @ 350 1.75v (would be 424 @ 2.3v but i have my 120mm on my duron right now) and in q3 @ 1280x1024 max everything it scores 33.6fps in the first demo. (timedemo)

This card is mighty good.

What have you gotten your geforce 256's to?

the geforce was a mighty good card. i was supposed to get that for my first rig... instead i got a crappy tnt2 m64... the 256 uses ddr mem right?

I was using a Geforce256 untill about 3 months ago when i got my radeon. I had mine at 140/200, up from 120/166.

That's impressive. I didn't know those older cards could overclock so much.

Bah.

When I got my MX card the guy gave me a GeForce 256 I complained that it was an older generation card and he swapped it with the MX 400 eventually and I had to RMA it for the 200.

Sucks :p

Do you think that 256 could have beat my MX400 Asus 7100 it was 215/215 with a Blorb.

if it was a DDR 256, yes.....
