Optimum settings for Geforce 2 Pro?

[Ripsnort]

New card arrived, setting it up, however, not sure if I'm using it to its optimum performance.

I played around with the over-clocking, seems I get flickering above 250 clock speed (factory default is 200)...

Tried AH with V-Sync off just for giggles, no FR increase what so ever.

What are you running for a monitor?

A better video card with higher performance video memory will primarily allow you to run at higher resolutions and color depths.  Your CPU is going to have to generate a lot of the math anyway, so your FPS in a given situation may not change a great deal.

Basically, I got framerates that were just as good as my V5 with my old V3.  The difference is I went from 1024x768 16 Bit to 1024x768 32 Bit and 2xFSAA.  In image quality the difference was HUGE, while still retaining nice playable framerates.  

If your monitor is good enough, you should be able to use higher resolutions with the new card, and if not, you may be able to run FSAA and get better image quality.

Rip, you might want to look at what I wrote up about Vertical sync in the WEB site (http://www.benchdata.com/hints/) section.
It might help explain why you may or may not get better frame rates from any given video card.
