Let's fire up COD4 again and see if we can boost the framerate a little with an overclock.
Image Quality setting:
4x Anti Aliasing
16x anisotropic filtering
All settings maxed out
Now please bare in mind that no 3rd party overclocking tool is ready yet, so we had to overclock through ATI Control center. The core we could push to the maximum allowed 700 MHz, and we found a memory limit at 2300 MHz. That's actually a pretty significant overclock. This OC accounts for both cards we tested, again 100% the same.
So hot or not, there's definitely room for a little more tweaking, and it's worth it to do so. Quite nice to see. You just touched GeForce 8800 ultra performance wise right there.
