How much can a G200 deliver if kicked like a dog???

[MoleDK]

I was just wondering...if you overclock the card and throw a kickass processor at it (like an Athlon), how much can you sqeeze out of it in games like Quake3 or benchmark programs like 3DMark99Max?

Sure some of you guys has an Athlon or similar and also an old G200 lying around.

What I am most curious about is, where stops the fillrate when the overhead in the drivers are swallowed by the much better processor.

I hope someone get my point

Have a good one

If you want my personnal opinion. For a processor like an athlon. don't need to kick your card nether to overclocked. Just change it to a G400
Just my one cent and a half...

My concern is with growth. You must grow to become one, to become whole, to become sane. I am not going to force sanity upon you. Rather, I am going to bring out your insanity. When it is pulled out completely, throw into the wind, sanity will happen to you, you will grow. You will be transformated. That is the meaning of meditation

I'll let you know in a week or so.

I've ordered a peltier cooler w/HS&Fan. It is designed to be used with a powerPC chip, so I'll see how well it fits the g200.

Mind you, this is not done for economics, this is done for fun. (20 bucks, cooler and fan)

P.S. the place is Marlin P. Jones http://www.mpja.com/list.asp?dept=60

If it has any success, the same place I bought the above has pelties chunks, wo I might slap one on my celery and see if I can hit 600...
