Overclocking

To find the maximum overclock of our card we used a combination of Rivatuner, ATITool's successor, AMD internal software, Furmark and our benchmarking suite.



The final overclocks of our card are 688 MHz core (14% overclock) and 1301 MHz Memory (18% overclock). Considering that the card is already overclocked, this is some nice additional headroom. However, in previous reviews we have also seen several GT200 cores that handle up to around 715 MHz. Of course maximum overclock varies from sample to sample and your mileage may vary.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies we ran a quick test of Call of Duty 4 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.


The actual 3D performance gained is 8.5%.

Temperatures

Temperatures are fine, there is a good balance between fan noise and temperatures.
