Here is my highest score yet, what do you think?

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=5852220


1700+ @ 2.25GHz, 8RDA+ @ 205Mhz, 2x256mb TwinMOS PC3200 @ 205MHz 7,3,2,2. AGP frequency at 50MHz.

GF3 Ti200 64mb at 250/530.


My GF3 is volt modded but still doesn't overclock very high(The core clocks less), I think there is a power issue with my board over the AGP bus. Raising the AGP frequency to 66MHz results in my highest stable GF3 core being only 225Mhz :( If it's too high it just locks. And with my GF3 at stock it crashes/locks just the same if the AGP frequency is higher than 68MHz. AGP voltage makes no difference :(

Incidently, with my CPU, FSB, RAM and AGP frequency as low as possible(500MHz, 100Mhz, 100MHz, 50MHz) I was able to clock my GF3 stably to 270/550, but with artifacts. Without artifacts required 260/540.

Anyone know of a mod to supply a GF3s power directly from PSU?

What is your 3.3v rail.

If it is anywhere near 3v, you need to mod your psu. You are definately experiencing PSU probs.

BTW, there is no way to power your gf3 independant of the AGP slot.

With my MSI 745 Ultra my 3.3v was about 3.35v.

The 8RDA+ has no 3.3v reading, so I don't know what it is now :(

Have you tried tinkering with the AGP volts in the BIOS?

As I said in my first post, AGP voltage changes make no difference :(

If you have a Multi meter, measure the 3.3 line. Adjust the pot until it equals 3.5.

Epox has always stressed the 3.3v line more than anyone else.

Just short the atx green, to atx ground. Then go pin 1,2 or 11 to an Earth. That oughta work for you.

11.4k is dang good with a ti200
good work man:)

If you could run your card at 270\550, you might be able to break 12k id think.
measuring you 3.3v line sounds like a good idea... This all makes me think, i have a epox board, a ti200, and a crappy PSU and i cant OC past 230core either....

Ok, if you really think it's the 3.3v line I'll look into modding my Enermax 550w, it has no POTs :(


Fragbuckler: You volt modded your GF3 Ti200?
