Overclocked Performance

While Overdrive officially tops out at speeds of 775MHz core/1125MHz memory for the Radeon 5850 (speeds we were easily able to hit with both 5850 cards), we used AMD’s GPU Clock Tool to crank the speeds up even further. We managed to hit speeds of 815MHz core/1350MHz memory with card #1, while card #2 maxed out even higher, clocking in at 878MHz core/1400MHz memory.
