Greggy 0 Posted June 10, 2000 Has anyone noticed problems running the nvidia GeForce 2 on an overclocked Intel 440BX motherboard? My 'old' CL GeForce SDR had no problems on my Abit BF6 at 133FSB (89MHz AGP), but my 'new' Leadtek GF2 GTS is displaying minor graphics corruptions if the FSB goes above 110MHz (73MHz AGP). If I leave the FSB at 100MHz (66MHz AGP) everything is perfect. The problem is most noticable playing NFS5 Porche Unleashed. BTW: GF2 at stock speed of 200core/333mem using 5.22 Det's on Win 2000. Perhaps a VIA 133A or an Intel i815 could be on the horizon, as my GF2 card on a freind's ASUS 133A mobo runs fine at 133-140FSB. Share this post Link to post
Greggy 0 Posted June 11, 2000 I have been doing some research on the above matter (Direct3D games seem to be the only offender), and if anyone is interested they should check out these pages: http://www.tweak3d.net/faq/index.shtml http://www.d-silence.com/video/direct3d.shtml Let me know what you find/think/feel.

Greggy 0 Posted June 11, 2000 FIXED...by setting AGP to '1x' mode instead of '2x' For anyone having problems with their overclocked Intel BX motherboards and a GeForce 2 GTS (or perhaps even GeForces) I strongly suggest they try their motherboard at 1x AGP. All Direct3D problems are fixed, and I lost only 1fps in Quake 3 Arena (64.9fps down from 66fps) at 1024x768x32bit every setting maxed out with 85Hz refresh vsynch enabled. Technically this is not an elegant fix, but it does allow us BX owners at 133FSB or higher a good solution. Aparently nvidia are aware of the D3D issues and newer drivers will address the D3D problems at higher than standard AGP speeds. It is confirmed to be a Direct3D only AGP problem, as OpenGL AGP functions are fine.
