Hi fellas,

lemme know how it goes, might try it on my geforce 2 mx

BTW does anyone know what the default clocks are supposed to be on a GF2MX?? mine are running 175(GPU) and 140(MEMORY) at the mo, and i think 140 is a tad low :(

Hi MrP,

GeForce2 MX core clock: 175MHz
GeForce2 MX memory clock: 166MHz

memory clock 166mhz.

hmmmmmmmm

MrP goes off and finds powerstrip
MrP creates a profile called "performance" with memory at 166
MrP loads winamp and a visulisation called mildrop (creates nice wave formy things using 3d)
MrP loads his new "performance" profile"
MrP watches the FPS rating rocket up by 1 frame a second for about 2 seconds untill his machine locks solid.

MrP swears and curses alot
MrP reboots the machine and swears he will never buy a cheap graphics card again

it will run 3dmark2001 with a memory clock of 160, but there are lots of visual errors (maily textures not stopping, so they look like long bars rigth accross the screen)

looks like it time to get a fan on the GPU and some heat sinks on the ram. Do that volt mod your doing work on a GF2MX KODE?

Just finished the benchmarks, and the results are not what I was expecting to see.

3DMark2000:

Default clocks for Gladiac GTS 2: 200/333.

Default clocks: 7212
Core clock@145 (No memory overclock here): 7464
Core/memory clock@245/390: 7935.

My limit to the core clock before the volt mod was 225, now I was able to set the core clock to 260MHz but resulted on some artifacts, 245MHz is rock solid. I also noticed that the voltage mod didn´t help to overclock the memory, this is sad cause here´s where you get real performance boost.
