Good OCing video card

[pIII_Man]

I know alot of you comming into this thread are thinking that i am talking about overclocking the core and memory on my video card...and i might...but i really wana know what video cards can handle a 100mhz agp bus. You see i would like to overclock my PIII 700 a bit further...i have a 440bx board though so the divider is stuck at 2/3. So whats best for this aplication, i heard from old articles back in the day that the nvidia cards were pretty good at taking these conditions. Before recomending a card you must remember that we are talking about a 2x agp interface here and i don't really wana spend too much on the card. Another question is, is the clock of a graphics card derived any way from the bus speed (example 100mhz core so the card has a 1.333x multiplier onboard times the 66mhz agp bus yeilding 100mhz) or does it have its own onboard clock generator? You have to keep in mind i am upgrading from a rage pro (8mb) and currently my system memory has a higher bandwith than my graphics memory so ANY improvment WILL help alot.

No the GPU/VPU and memory speeds of the graphics card are in now way derived from the AGP bus speed.

100mhz is alot, but go ahead and try it if you want.
I don't know what card, if any, would handle those conditions best.

i have a PNY G3 TI 200/64 and a Visiontech G4 4200/128 that run at 100mhz AGP with no problems.

I aint signing nothing!!!

thanx rick...what board(s)...how long have you been running your graphics cards with the bus overclocked at that speed (no adverse effects like polygons and stuff popping up)?
