Overclocking the card

The overclocking portion of our tests began with the GeForcePCX 5750 core at 400MHz. The MSI PCX5750-TD128 video card handled the increase to 450 MHz easily, and as 475 MHz was passed, it eventually settled on 504 MHz. Onto the memory...

The 3.6ns DDR memory handled a little overclocking action even better than we had anticipated. Starting off from 500 MHz, its frequency was raised to a few MHz at a time; 550MHz, 575MHz, and 600 MHz came and went, before the Samsung DDR settled on 650 MHz. That wasn't limit however, and the DDR easily rose to 694MHz! Not bad considering the memory was initially clocked at 500 MHz.

For the following overclocking benchmarks, the MSI PCX5750-TD128 was run at 504MHz core, and 694MHz memory ( the core and memory played nicely together at their maximum frequencies).

By combining DirectX8 support with completely new graphics, it continues to provide good overall system benchmarks. 3DMark2001SE has been created in cooperation with the major 3D accelerator and processor manufacturers to provide a reliable set of diagnostic tools. The suite demonstrates 3D gaming performance by using real-world gaming technology to test a system's true performance abilities. Tests include: DirectX8 Vertex Shaders, Pixel Shaders and Point Sprites, DOT3 and Environment Mapped Bump Mapping, support for Full Scene Anti-aliasing and Texture Compression and two game tests using Ipion real-time physics.

Higher numbers denote better performance.
