Overclocking
For
our overclocking test we used the delivered software ASUS Smartdoctor. Of
course, with this kind of mainstream graphic cards, it's not possible to raise
the core voltage via software. Meanwhile, we managed to reach a nice 880 MHz on
the core and 1'052 MHz for the memory stable and without any artifacts under
3DMark 11 Performance. This allowed us to beat the stock clocked GT 440.
