opinions needed: most overclockable gf2 gts/ultra brand?

Squishyface · 02-21-2001, 02:06 PM

Personally, i think i got robbed. I got a great geforce2 card for a great price: Elsa Gladiac 32MBddr for $157, but, the stinkin' card won't overclock for beans :P
The best i've managed is to go from 200 core/333 memory to 215/355 stable.
Above that i get glitches in 3dmark2000.
Now...i've heard all kinds of people talk about getting their gf2 cards up to 230...even 235 core and memory to 280 or higher...amazing!
Well...i want to know what brand of geforce2 tends to overclock the best....or is it just pure luck?
Also...since gf3 will drop gf2 ultra prices...i'd like to know what ultra brand oc's the best.
I heard there is an ultra card out that will hit 300 core and 525 mem

mmmm
not sure what brand though

My Creative Annihilator2 Ultra OC's stable to 300/495, 290/515. But by the look and trend of things, and considering I put an Agilent Arcticooler on my Ultra (along with all new ram sinks), the VisionTek GeForce2 Ultra OC's better vs. Creative Annihilator2 Ultra. My point? Go for the VisionTek GeForce2 Ultra OEM.

If at first you don't succeed, slap on a 7k rpm Delta!
