Performance at BCLK @ 175MHz
There's little to separate the boards at a BCLK of 133MHz, so taking overclocked performance into account, the board's clock was raised to 175MHz with a 20x multiplier.. DDR3 memory was forced to 800MHz at 133MHz BCLK, which increased to 1,066MHz at 175MHz BCLK.The XFX board ran with extremely tight timings of 6-6-6-15-1T at 1,066MHz, but the Foxconn managed to run them at the required 7-7-7-20-1T.
Point is, we're comparing overclocked performance at 3.5GHz/175MHz BCLK/~1,066MHz DDR3 CL6 - kind of the setup that many might consider having purchased the requisite parts.

Performances are up, of course, but there's still little to separate the boards. However, the XFX would sporadically not POST from a cold-boot - a problem not seen on the Foxconn.
