Asus GTX760 Direct CU Mini and HD7850 Direct CU II V2 Review

For our overclocking tests today we used the latest version of MSI Afterburner, which is based around Rivatuner.

There is plenty of headroom on the HD7850 core, stable at 1050mhz, a 22% overclock over the out of the box figures. The memory also overclocked well, rising to 1,450mhz. There is also some headroom on the GTX760 Mini, overclocking from 1,006mhz to 1,113mhz. This translates to a 10.6% overclock, which is very good.

The overclocks on both cards translate into some tangible real world benefits, especially for the HD7850 solution.

  1. The 760 mini is lovely – really nice idea, if a little expensive.

  2. The cards are good, but the cooler on the 760 is too small to really be that good for such a high end board – I would rather get a case that can take a full sized GPU, even if it was small, like a prodigy.

  3. Too bad my three month old Asus 7850 DCUII V2 can’t even reach any core clock over 960mhz without crashing while in a game. Touched nothing but the core clock and 5% power addition.

    1000mhz ran fine on tests. rock solid on 3Dmark11 and MSI kompressor though. Could be a driver issue, could be a bad card. Clean install though.

    Still, goes to show that overclocking is not absolutely dependable.
