october 6 2010 review by hardocp

The reviewers experienced generally positive overclocking results, but it was difficult to recommend, because it came to the market too late and offers nothing to win customers over from its primary competition. The out-of-box clock frequencies yield real performance results over a reference card, and it has great overclocking potential.

Compared To:

Nvidia GeForce Reference Card and the galaxy 450 Super OC overclocked.

Test Setup:

• CPU : Intel Core i7 920 CPU
• HDD : Western Digital 500GB
• Memory : 3x2GB of Corsair DDR3-1600MHz
• Motherboard : ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution
• OS : Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
• PSU : Cooler Master RealPower Pro 1250W

Benchmarks:

ARMA II: Operation Arrowhead, F1 2010, Mafia II, Metro 2033.

Overclocking:

The GPU core was OCed @ 958MHz, and the GDDR5 memory at 4.12GHz.
