Elite Bastards posted EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB Superclocked video card review



We've been teasing you about the factory overclocked properties of this board for long enough, so it's time to lift the lid on just what those clock speeds are. Starting with the Superclocked's core clock speed (which basically denotes the clock speed of anything on the board that isn't memory or Stream Processors); this sees an increase to 576MHz from the reference 500MHz speed used by NVIDIA. As the clock speed of G80's Stream Processors are tied to this core clock by a particular ratio, we also see a big increase in this discipline, up to 1.35GHz from 1.2GHz on a reference board - That puts it in line with a GeForce 8800 GTX for raw speed, albeit not in the sense of the actual number of shading units. Finally, the 640MB of GDDR3 memory on board gets itself an extra 50MHz to play with, clocked to 850MHz against the 800MHz of a reference part.
