As I mentioned a few days ago, the XXX cards from XFX are usually very overclockable samples, but now I had the opportunity to confirm that claim.
The above shot was taken running the card with the stock aircooler, while running Linux with the latest Nvidia drivers and Coobits for Linux.
This result of 773MHz for the core and 998MHz, or 1996MHz, for the RAM was taken by using the automatic overclocking function, so improvement is likely.
This is a very good result, especially for the RAM which gets to almost 2GHz from the stock 1.6GHz. The increase in core speed is also quite impressive, considering it was already up to 680MHz in the stock overclock.
The card definitely features a better PCB than the ones used for most 8800GTs on the market, while the stock cooler has definitely been stripped down to a more simple design.
More coming soon.
