De stroom V3 reviews is nu echt zwaar op gang gekomen, verwacht er de komende tijd nog zo'n 10.000. iXBT heeft ook een review. Er zitten benchmarks bij van de (oude) TNT, Rage128 en V3-2000 op 143 en 175MHz. Het ziet er naar uit dat de V3-2000 erg goed zal zijn te overklokken:
Undoubtedly, many of you paid attention to primarily chipset and memory frequencies displayed on the screenshot: 174MHz (frankly speaking, it implies 175MHz). And many of you are definitely puzzled because all this seems absolutely impossible, especially when you know that the chipset is initially designed for 143MHz. And the explanation is very simple: it is a special Voodoo3 overclocking program that is to blame - Voodoo3 Overclock Property Page (by Gary Peterson). It is installed separately and creates another page in monitor settings list.Here we get the whole set of cool options. We may not only smoothly change Voodoo3 chip performance and memory frequency from 120MHz to 200MHz, but also disable Vsync (monitor refresh rate synchronization with RAMDAC). After changing the frequency, the PC should be restarted. By simply trying all the suitable combinations we managed to find the maximal frequency - 175MHz, when the card shows a rather stable performance. It even exceeds the nominal frequency of Voodoo3 3000 (166MHz), which is very pleasing for all overclocking fans.
iXBT heeft tevens een paar screenshots waarmee je de beeldkwaliteit van de TNT en V3 kunt vergelijken. Lees de review hier.
