HEXUS.bang4buck and overclocking
HEXUS.bang4buck
* - estimated price.
** - whilst the GeCube X1650XT Dual does complete the benchmarks with an above-60FPS average, performance with Splinter Cell: HDR is poor.
Now, the HEXUS.bang4buck graph simply divides the normalised marks by the current price, to give you an easy-to-understand metric that takes value into account.
The graph looks good for GeCube but, as pointed out, its performance is subject to effective CrossFire implementation.
Overclocking
We managed to increase the 574/1377MHz frequencies to 634.5/1431MHz during a brief bout of overclocking. Re-running Splinter Cell at the 1600x1200 0xAA 8xAF HDR setting, we found there to be little gain in performance. The graph explains all.The HDR CrossFire issues popping up again?
