Overclocking

Over clocking of the cards on test today follows the same method used in our previous 8800 reviews. The program used was ATI Tool which allows us to over clock the cards using small increments until we find the maximum core and memory speeds. The fastest 320Mb GTS that we have seen to date was Foxconn’s overclocked model which reached 625 MHz core and 1910 MHz memory and that gives us a good reference figure for how good these cards today should be. Starting with the BFG model we were able to reach very similar clocks to the Foxconn and ended up on 620 MHz core and 1920 MHz memory. The XFX card was slightly more impressive ending up on 630 MHz core and 1940 MHz memory, becoming the new over clocking performance leader for the 320Mb GTS series.

Here is how the over clock affected the performance in Supreme Commander
