Conclusion

Overclocking:

ATI radeon cards were locked before so you couldn’t overclock anything but it’s not changed and you get a special cd with a tweaking program. This program is easy to use and below you can see some screenshots.

The stock speeds for this card was 324mhz core and 202mhz memory. The memory was harder to overclock but we finally ended up at 371mhz core and 216 mhz memory. We had no graphics faults with these settings and they were rock stable.

Conclusion:

This card is just awesome! With a price around 150-160$ this is a bargain. You get high quality along with good performance in all games up to date. Overclocking works great and this card kicks FX card around bigtime. Testing showed us that this card has really much potential and with overclocking this can be a real killer card without you having to empty your walled completely. Along with this card you get a full version of Powerdvd which might come in handy when you want to watch some movied or dvds from your computer. Rbmods gives this card 5 out of 5 and a recommendation for great speed at low price!
