BFG 9800GTX 512MB Review

The Trials of Overclocking

Overclocking the BFG 9800GTX WILL void your warranty.

Max Overclocks

Core: 807Mhz
Memory: 2448Mhz (DDR)

Interestingly, when trying to overclock the core of the 9800GTX we constantly seemed to bump into a brick wall which was below the overclocks we achieved with our 8800GTS 512MB card. That card ran to 820/2234 without much hassle on stock cooling but our current GTX was stopped dead in its tracks at 807Mhz on the core. While this represents a 132Mhz overclock (which is not to shabby under normal circumstances) we were still left a bit disappointed. On the other hand, the memory clocked like on-one’s business all the way to 1224Mhz which equates a stunning 248Mhz (DDR) overclock.

As you can see below, our 3DMark06 score went up quite a bit but we will see what this card can really do when we pop on an aftermarket cooler.
