We overclocked with the latest MSI version of Afterburner.
The final clock increases aren't as good as we would have hoped. We tried a combination of voltage settings and tweaks but 920mhz from the core was the best we achieved, with total stability.
The overclock helped to boost the frame rates from an average of 37.3 fps to 38.8 fps.
Their coolers are really very good, we get a very low return rate on these cards.
Good deal on OCUk for that card. especially with two free, and very tasty games.
The big question is, with AMD about to release a new range of cards (well in a few months at least), is anyone opting for one of these now?
Really good looking card as usual from MSI. I never see them listed in many sites. Do scan even stock them?
I have one of these and its very good. I have problems with overclocking it however and I had hoped you might do better. mine is limited to 910mhz and it crashes 🙁
Quite a sexy card. Can’t wait until MSI will realease TwinFrozr III as retail cooler.
A very good and complete review. Just one question. Due to a discusion on the dutch site hardware.info it became clear that using the latest version of the drivers has a significant effect on the results. I would like to know if the results of the other cards as used in your graphs are also obtained using the same driver versions. If these are older results with older drivers then it might be a good idea to mention the driver version / date with the different test scores for the different cards.
I just like to mention that i frequently use this site to keep abreast of al the latest tech news. Keep up the good work.
I would like to thnkx for your efforts you’ve set in creating this website. I’m hoping the same high-grade web site publish from you in the upcoming as well.
