The Asus HD5750 is supplied at 700mhz core clocks with memory at an effective 4.6ghz. We handled overclocking with the fan set to auto to keep noise to a minimum and found that we were able to squeeze considerably more from the board before errors started to occur.
The final figures we settled on were 840 mhz on the core and 1270mhz on the memory. As always with overclocking the results will vary from card to card but this shows a large amount of overhead and we would assume most cards would reach 800 core and 1250 memory easily enough. Figures worth taking into consideration if your game is currently just slightly juddery at the given settings.
We also overclocked our reference HD5750 and achieved 840mhz on the core and 1280mhz on the memory, slightly higher than the Asus board achieved.
I am in work so I haven’t had time to read the whole review. I did read the conclusion however and it looks disappointing. I read the HARDOCP review also a while ago and it seems you had more success than they did. They actually reported the card running hotter ! perhaps the lack of paste is a factor issue? The cooler is very odd looking, not sure I like it at all.
Just goes to show that even Asus, one of the finest companies on the market can occassionally drop the ball.
Shit ! I have his card ! mine runs quite hot too, im going to take it apart later to see if it is the paste ! thanks !
