Test Setup and Overclocking
Overclocking:
The use of a
passive heatpipe heatsink is already an indication that the overclocking
headroom won't be enormous. Unless you have additional case fans
that blow directly at the passive heatsink, heat will be the number one
issue when overclocking this card. With the use of ATITool, I was
able to push the core to 420MHZ before the card started to lock up.
The memory went all the way to 525MHZ before showing any artifacts.
The results aren't too bad, but there is definitely more possible
headroom. My regular ATI X800 XL can clock well over 450MHZ for the core,
so this just means that the GPU on the Gigabyte X800 XL just needs more
cooling.
