overclocking vid card

[Geek_Apprentice]

How exactly do I overclock my geforce 2 ultra? I just dled coolbits but I have no idea how to use it. Do I edit the value that's in the reg file? What are other programs you guys use to overclock your graphics card?

...if you have coolbits all you have to do is right click on the desktop, go to properties->settings->advanced->geforce 2 tab->additional properties->then the hardware options tab. Then you will need to check the box in order to beable to use the sliders, and reboot....then go back and you're ready to o/c it.

Thanks for that pointer, but there is no additional properties button under the adaptor tab.......could it have something to do with the driver I'm using? I'm currently using 6.50.

The additional properties button is located on the NVidia tab, not the adaptor tab. If you don't have the NVidia tab, your drivers probably aren't installed properly.

Did you do the windows hardware acceleration thingy? I read on www.geforcefaq.com that it actually improves system performance when you turn down the windows acceleration slider. I tried it recently, and noticed that it works great when you turn it down one notch, but that the NVidia tabs would 'disappear' from the video options at two notches. Just a thought... If you didn't do that, I'd say you'd have to re-install the drivers...
