Gainward's overclocked 7800GTX
@ 2005/08/09The improved core and memory clocks meant that we could attain a higher level of playable image quality in Far Cry - it was possible to attain a smooth gaming experience at 1600x1200 with HDR lighting turned on. "
"It seems that Gainward have hit a sweet spot with this clock speed, as shown in our apples to apples tests and in our best-playable evaluations, too. The Golden Sample has a core speed that is 9% higher than reference clocks, while the memory is only 8% higher than reference - the performance in Far Cry shows a 12% increase in average frame rate, while the minimum frame rate increased by nearly 50%!
