I overclocked my voodoo3 -2000 to about 160 (from 143) but I do have a cooler (3 fingers kick ass cooling fan from voodooextreme.com). A cooling fan is only about $15 and it greatly helps. I have noticed a difference (can turn on more cars during racing). I recommend overclocking like 2-3 MHz at a time and running the game. Usually, if you do it a little at a time and the game crashes, you'll know how high you can go without destroying your cpu. Definitely get an additional fan. OVerclocking is very risky (have you every touched a non- overclocked cpu after running your computer? It'll give you 3rd degree burns) and not recommended by the manufacturer. I guess that I would go over 150-155 without a cooling fan. How can you tell what the frame rate is? Is there a key or code to hit?

30 fps is the max you can get in n3.

Greetings; Just bought a Voodo 3 2000 for N3 and achieve framerates running the card stock of 30 fps on my Pentium II 266. Just wondered how much I can overclock without a card cooler and not wreck the card AND how much this will improve my framerate. Is overclocking risky? I've got the util to do it but I'm a bit gunshy. Please reply via email - I don't get here much. Regards, Willard.
