Introduction

More overclocking

Quite a few people have written in asking for GeForce 2 Ultra overclocking results. Even though we've already shown the effectiveness of GeForce 2 overclocking, we figured that we should throw together a report just to show our readers that we do read all our e-mail even though we may not have enough time to respond to everything.

Before we get into the actual overclocking, we have to mention that our NVIDIA reference GeForce 2 Ultra board came equiped with 4ns memory, but production boards may have 4ns or 4.4ns memory. The 4.4ns memory should be just fast enough to support the 460MHz default speed, but the 4ns memory should be able to hit 500MHz.

Testing

We enabled NVIDIA's hardware tweak utility through the "CoolBits" registry hack and started overclocking. We managd to get the core up to 290MHz from the 250MHz default. We were also able to overclock the memory up to 500MHz (250MHz DDR). Interestingly enough, we couldn't get the memory anywhere above 500MHz. The lack of headroom just goes to show that the memory is already very close to its limits.

Oh, the screenshots in this article are from NVIDIA's Particle and Waves demos.

Enough talk, let's get to the tests.
