Overclocking

Next I checked out the card’s overclockability using its default cooler in automatic mode. The card proved to be stable at GPU frequencies of 691/1571MHz (+6.6/6.4%) and at a memory frequency of 2760MHz (+11.1%).

So, the XFX GeForce GTX 285 has but modest overclocking potential. I guess the best chips go into the production of XFX’s pre-overclocked models.

And now let’s see what temperature the overclocked card has:

The temperatures are lower than at the default frequencies because I had replaced the Ascot 6AR-B with an Antec Twelve Hundred system case just before that test. I hope you’ll forgive me that.

You can email me for this card’s BIOS.
