Overclocking

If you're in the market for a Devil 13, you're obviously the kind of nutter who likes to tinker with extreme solutions at mad-man speeds.

The good news for you, dear enthusiast, is that the Devil 13 can go up a notch or two. After increasing voltage from the default 1.17V to a more flexible 1.25V, we were quickly able to bump the core up to 1,125MHz and had memory ramped up to an effective 6,300MHz.

A decent overclock, a title that likes Radeon and excellent CrossFire scaling make this a satisfying graph; the Devil 13 at 1,125MHz really lets fly in Aliens vs. Predator.
