note that nvclock for me sometimes needs the force parameter, no matter what clock speeds I set it to. (works fine though :) )

If you are overclocking a GeForce3, here are my results with my MSI based GeForce3 Ti200:
I ran tests with ut2003 demo that is in portage as of Nov 03, 2002
Code:
ut2003-demo --bench 

>> Score for Botmatch
MinDetail: 41.814437 (4 tests)
MaxDetail: 34.194072 (4 tests)
Average  : 38.004254 (8 tests)

>> Score for FlyBy
MinDetail: 75.503624 (3 tests)
MaxDetail: 70.550237 (3 tests)
Average  : 73.026930 (6 tests)

nvclock -s

nVidia Geforce 3 Titanium 200
Card number: 0

Memory speed:     400.904 MHz   //<--- this is stock config

new test

nVidia Geforce 3 Titanium 200
Card number: 0
PCI id: 0x201
Memory speed:     472.494 MHz
Core speed:     235.053 MHz

I found that anything over 475Mhz for the memory speed would crash my computer hard after a few minutes, and up to that point I had lots of artifacts on the screen. Also, going over 235Mhz core would have big crash coming my way.
My best spot I found for stability and proformance would be core 235 and mem 465 or so.
Although for only a few fps faster in the flybys and barely any improvement in the bot matches, I think I will leave my card alone now. ;)

I have a Geforce4 Ti4200 in my desktop right now, and my fps only went up around 1 or 2 over my GeForce3 in the ut2003 benchmark.
Wierd...

I could be completely wrong but doesnt ut2003 automagically alter graphics quality etc on the fly , therefore using this for benchmarking prob isnt the best as more than likely the graphics quality is probably getting wound up slightly once the card is overclocked so the results are probably not very accurate :roll:

Cheers
Dale.

Does overclocking your Graphics hardware really result in a feelable performance boost and is it worth it? (considering you might damage your hardware by playing around with that...)
