We've typically had good luck overclocking Albatron videocards in the past, and so I'd expect the GeForceFX 5700P Turbo would be up to the challenge too.

For these tests, the core overclocking tests were started first. The core is clocked at 425 MHz, only 25 MHz slower than the GeForceFX 5700 Ultra default clock. Not surprisingly the Albatron GeForceFX 5700P Turbo had no problems hitting that mark. After inching up a few MHz at a time, the core even broke 500 MHz - not too bad for a value videocard! By the time things had evened out, we topped out just a bit past 500 MHz (504 MHz specifically).

Upon removing the memory heatsinks it was evident that the Albatron 5700P Turbo was equipped with Hynix 2.5ns BGA DDR RAM modules (HY5DU28322). In theory this memory should be good up to 800 MHz, but whether they can run at that speed remains to be seen.

Starting at 650 MHz, the memory clock speed was increased a few MHz at a time to 700 MHz. Speeds higher than that would start to produce artifacts unfortunately. The RAM heatsinks were not hot to the touch, so I can only guess at what was holding the memory back from it's theoretical top speed.

As always, we will include the overclocked results for this card for reference purposes, in the following pages of benchmarks. To see the overclocked results for each of the other videocards used in this review, please see each individual review on PCstats. Now, time for those benchmarks!
