I was able to push the 475 MHz core speed to 512 MHz and the memory from 950 MHz and 1.02 GHz which is very impressive. Going any higher would cause the card to display artifacts during testing. The auto-detect function is also a nice feature because all you have to do is click it and it will automatically adjust the card to the highest that it thinks it can handle. From there you can always adjust it higher or lower but it did a good job with my card finding the sweet spot.
Conclusion
I really like this card because of many reasons, the first and most important being that it performs really well. The next best thing to a great video card is giving it two DVI ports to output that performance to DVI ports on two LCDs. The stock speed of this video card makes it a great buy and the overclocking ability makes it even better. One of my complaints with the XFX 5600 Ultra I previously reviewed was that it lacked a game bundle. XFX has addressed that negative aspect by including a pretty good bundle and also includes all of the necessary cables and adapters. I am going to 9/10 and award it the OCmodshop Seal of Approval and would like to thank XFX for sending me this card.
