- Overclocking

There is always a way to improve the performance of your system by overclocking it. The Asus EN8600GTS Top is already overclocked compared with Nvidia's 8600GTS reference board, by 70MHz for Core and 145MHz for memory.

We were curious to see if the card could handle even more overclocking. Using RivaTuner v2.02 Final, we reached 780MHz for Core and 1193MHz for memory.

We didn't expect much overclocking space from the Asus EN8600GTS Top and we only managed to gain 4.45% in both core/memory frequencies. Therefore, with an already highly overclocked card, overclocking is not suggested. FYI, we managed an extra 166points to 3DMark05 and 179 points to 3DMark06, to the already existing results.
