GF2mx Permanent OC??

[Glycerine]

ok so ive still got a POS GF2mx (original) is there any way that i can up the Core/Mem speeds permanently, a bio's flash maybe??

so if i remove it from this comp put it in another it will still have the core/mem speed i set it to

i have no idea what brand the card is... its just some generic POS,

Thanx

yep what asantha linked should work, although be aware that some crap cards come with EPROM as opposed to EEPROM meaning you can't flash a new BIOS.

[Glycerine]

thanks, worked perfectly :)
i now have a normal gf2mx clock 175/166 instead of 143/143!

any particualar settings i could change to get a little more speed??

[TooMuchCoffeeMan]

Overclock it in software to find the max stable OC using coolbits/NVmax/Geforce tweak utility/powerstrip etc, then reflash with modified timings...

TMCM, your avatar scares the sh!t out of me, more than mine does.


Glycerine, is that the top you can get out of that card? I have the 1st gen Leadtek GF2MX oldskool card, and using CoolBits I have it maxed out at Core 220, Mem 210

To go any higher, I have to run something like Powerstrip, and then I only get another 5mhz out of the RAM...

Is this normal, or does this card have a freakishly high threshold?

You have teh Leadtek power, SS - of course it will OC like a freak......... :D So it's normal for Leadtek, not for GF2MX's in general. :p

it goes to about 190/180,
like i said its some generic noname POS!

[Glycerine]

well i just cam e back from a quick bit of testing,
most i will get outa this card is 220/185

im wondering if loading a new bios on my card will improve performance?? instead of using my old modified bios??

[Glycerine]

ok newer bios was BAD!!
so im back to my old bios with 210/185

now can someone tell me about sidebanding??
what dose it do and will i get much of a performace boost??

all i no about it is that it could make my card unstable??

[Deviant]

From what I remember sidebanding was a 2-3% performance increase, but it made too many cards unstable. I don't think manufacturers even bother with it anymore.

[SilverPriest]

Sidebanding is pretty much a waste of time.
Little to no performance increase in real world apps.
That extra .5 fps might matter if u are playing @ 1fps, but other than that.......
