XFX 5700 Ultra Dual DVI DDR3 Review

Author: Dennis Garcia

As was shown before the XFX FX 5700 Ultra is a "factory overclocked" video card and unlike the Gainward or Chaintech cards there is no "automatic overclocking" feature or enhanced drivers that alter the core and memory frequency. So with the Auto Detect button failing to achieve the desired effect the only option left is to manually overclock the card and the results are quite amazing.

The settings shown (566/1100) was the highest stable overclock attainable before any artifacts or tearing would appear. To reaffirm the stability a good 6 entire levels of FarCry were played over 2 days with no issues to report.
