So I own a Gainward 3DFX Voodoo 4MB and I decided to dabble with some overclocking.
I read that I could specify a clock speed in my autoexec.bat by adding the line SET SST_GRXCLK=##.
Now from what I gathered the Voodoo 1 is supposed to run at 50MHz by default. I try to find a stable clock speed and do some benchmarking. 51MHz was all I could get stable...
In Quake 1 my fps was 27.0 in Timedemo 1 without adding the line to my autoexec.
The strange part is that when I add "SET SST_GRXCLK=50" my framerate jumps to 33.1.
Could it be that my Voodoo wasn't running at 50MHz?
Or could this be a side effect of my P1 MMX running at 75MHz bus instead of the default 66MHz?
My 3D performance didn't go down when I changed the bus speed.
Anyone got any idea what's going on?
