Benchmarks

Test System
CPU:Intel Pentium 4 3.0F (S775; 2MB; Prescott)
Motherboard:ABIT AL8, Bios 1.4
i945P
Memory:2x 512MB OCZ PC2-5400 EB Platinum 4-2-2-8
Video Card:Sapphire X800 GTO² 256MB PCI-E
Harddisk:Maxtor DiamondMax 160GB
Power Supply:HEC Power475
Software:Windows XP SP2, Catalyst 5.8


We did a quick benchmarking round to find out how much performance is actually gained.
  • The first benchmark "12p" is with the X800 GTO² running at default, like it comes out of the box.
  • "16p" is with the card running at 16 pipelines, but still at the GTO² default clocks for 400 MHz core and 490 MHz memory.
  • The "X850 XT PE" series is when then card is running at 16 pipelines and is overclocked to 540 MHz core and 590 MHz memory.
As you can see the performance increases are quite big, especially overclocking seems to help the card a lot.

The performance increase from stock to modded and overclocked is about 30% in all benchmarks. Final performance is the same as a regular X850 XT PE. Quite impressive for a $220 video card and a 100% mod success rate.
