ti500 overclocking
« on: May 14, 2003 11:00 pm CDT »
I am going to attempt to overclock my Geforce3 ti500 now.  I am going to use Nvidia GeForce tweaker.  Any ideas (if you have experience) of how far I should safely go?

*edit*

The values now (default) are:
Core Clock: 200 mhz
Memory Clock:  460 mhz

Go to the [H]ardForum and post this, they feed on this every day.

Defaults are:

Core: 250MHz
Mem: 515MHz

You must not have a GF3 Ti500 then...
Does sound like GF3 Ti200 speeds though.

Gotta love SBC with their 6Mbps tier for 45$
(Yes, on their site it only shows 3Mbps, but it is actually 6Mbps, I would know :)).

What is your point?  You said it yourself, you have 200 Core and 460 Mem.  That is a stock Geforce3, not a Ti500.

I was a bit wrong about the speeds, but there were some 3rd party manufacturers that would ship it stock with 250/515.

Do you recommend I push it that far?

Maybe on the core, but the ram might be difficult because the Geforce3 uses slower nano-second ram which means the max theoretical speed will be slower than that of a Ti500.  But if you put some ram sinks on it and a Tt Crystal Orb, you might be able to reach Ti500 speeds.

-edit-
Scratch that nano-second ram crap, the Geforce3 uses the same ns ram.  However, it is the core that you should be careful on.  The Titanium series uses the .15micron manufacturing process which means smaller size, less heat generated.  That is how the Ti500 is able to reach 240 safely

I am a little skeptical now.  When I punched in the numbers for 250 mhz for core speed, the letters showed up in red.  The max I can get without it showing up in red is 230 mhz core.

*edit*
The card is about as warm as my mouth.

Sounds about right really.  Also you are on a stock cooler and you probably haven't taken it off and shaved off the pink crap that comes with it.  Replace that with a Crystal Orb and Arctic Silver 3, and it should reach at least 240 (Ti500 speed) or 250 easily.  As far as the ram, you can try 500Mhz, but don't be suprised if you see some artifacts while gaming.  Also remember to thoroughly test it out running something like 3dmark 2001SE for an hour or so before you leave this as default.

So I should change the parameters to
230 core speed

? on memory clock though

Heh, I just opened my case up for a monthly dusting off, and when I started spraying on the vid card, a glob of ice-chemicals squirted out onto the card, and I almost fainted.  Its cool now.

As long as it wasn't on when you sprayed it, should be ok then.  Are there ramsinks on the memory?

I believe so.

It looks alot like this one, except the green ribbed things are on the right side of the fan.  I think those are the ramsinks.

*edit*
LoL, I spray it down while the computer is on.

Interesting to try out... the next step in extreme overclocking: spraying your can-of-air upside down on the backside of the Core to maintain that 1GHz overclock.

That would be funny, even though it would require insane power usage.
