9200SE 64Mb ASUS Brand Serious OC!!

Been playing with one i originally bought for someone else (wouldnt work in their system, kept knocking out the onboard sound).
Put it in my primary system just for giggles and at stock speed (200 core 166 mem) got a wopping 4044 in 3Dmark 2001SE.
SO i decided to overclock it a bit to see what she could do.
With the ATI cat3.10 it would not overclock as it seems to be bios locked.
Installed latest Omega drivers and in no time i have her up to 300 core and 250 mem!!!!!
Not bad ! This is with the stock passive cooler as well!
She now does 6596 in 3Dmark 2001SE!!!
Not too shabby for a nuetered 65 dollar (CDN) card.
Beats the pants off a Geforce 2 GTS i have.
Tried BF1942 with the same settings as i usually run (no AA though) and it is smooth as silk (1024x768 all detail turned up).
Q3 flies as well.
Americas army is ok at 600x800 normal detail.
COD works well ay 1024x768 full detail. (gets a bit choppy sometimes).
What the heck its just a spare card for now, but if you know someone who needs a really cheap card and wants to do some gaming.
These will work.

not bad for a really low end budget card.

exactly !
Proof you dont need to spend big bucks to play some games.
as long as you are willing to overclock a bit.
