AMDZone goes crazy, overclocks 24 Geforce 9600 GT video cards
It is almost the norm to see overclocking results in your typical video card review. We have have been doing it since the 3DFX Voodoo, and usually you see the same thing. A card will be overclocked until it locks up or visual distortion begins, and a few benchmarks are run. You always have to think if the card tested was a golden sample picked to overclock well, or would this happen with a card you bought off the shelf? With that in mind we decided that a test of more than just one card was necessary to see how a model would perform in the same testing environment. Would each card overclock similarly? Would there be major differences in top speeds? http://www.amdzone.com/index.php/rev...ts-overclocked
Of course, if you really want some stats to compare, check out HWbot.org where enthusiasts like you and me can post their overclocking results; this database has more than 700 OC results from the 9600 GT series; there's even a fancy chart to show you the average overclocks reached:
Out of 784 9600 GT score the average GPU overclock is 769 and the GDDR3 OC'ed on average to 1070Mhz. Now that's statistics 101 for you :D http://www.hwbot.org/quickSearch.do?...0+GT+%28784%29 |
