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).

the agp and pci-e systems are different, the results are being included for reference.
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.
The MSI
PCX5750-TD128 videocard is slightly slower than
the PCI-E based ATi X600XT GPU (Gigabyte RX60X128V), but it does not lag behind
by much.
