Overclocking
The PowerColor managed to overclock 25MHz better than we saw from the reference AMD model. Naturally there is an element of the silicon lottery involved, but 25 MHz is just that.
Who are we to thumb our noses at any performance increase. We’re Overclock3D after all.
As this is still a reference design we’re still plagued by the heat and noise issues we were on the AMD, but there are no fault at all of PowerColor who can only work with what they’re given.
