Matthew Witheiler van AnandTech heeft een artikel geschreven over het overclocken van de GeForce2 GTS. In tegenstelling tot de lui van iXBT-Hardware hebben ze de zaak overigens niet in een vriezer gemikt maar pakte ze het iets normaler aan . Matthew kwam tot de conclusie dat de meeste winst gehaald kan worden door eerst het DDR geheugen maximaal over te klokken en dan pas langzaam de core te uppen totdat de kaart onstabiel wordt.
The best way to overclock you GeForce 2 GTS? As proved above, you will want to play with the memory clock settings until it is as high as it will go. Next, increase the core speed step by step until the card becomes unstable. Unlike previous cards, we no longer want to get the most out of our core as well: it has become secondary.
The next few months should prove to be interesting. Rumors of 5.5 and 5 ns SGRAM chips coming out are starting to be heard, meaning that the card will operate stock at the high DDR memory speed of 400 MHz (363 MHz in the case of the 5.5 ns chips). However, with all that speed to be gained, what will happen next? Naturally, we will push the new chips to the limit by overclocking in an attempt to produce the fastest card possible. Who knows, maybe if we push enough perhaps we can start to get rid of this nagging memory bottleneck. Only overclocking will tell; for the time being.
