Overclocking
On the XFX 8400 GS I used Rivatuner. No volt mods or software mods have been used apart from increasing the clock speeds.
This means that we got the following on the graph:

Overclocking
On the XFX 8400 GS I used Rivatuner. No volt mods or software mods have been used apart from increasing the clock speeds.
| Stock Clocks | Overclocked Core Clock | Stock Memory Clocks | Overlocked Memory Clock | |
| XFX 8400GS | 450 | 551 | 800 | 940 |
This means that we got the following on the graph:
The core overclocked by a pretty huge 22% to 551MHz and the memory also got an impressive 17.6% overclock to 940MHz. That's a pretty nice OC so let's see how this affects performance by a quick 3DMark06 run:
A nice increase of 345 3DMarks shows us that the overclock is an effective one.

Aye indeed. I think the card fits well in it's niche and really is great vfm
It's hard to look at a card like this when you're playing around with uber high end stuff all day but I think I gave it a fair shout and it performed well for it.
Hope y'all think it's a fair review

The card and packaging are as I expected. I`ve got 3 cards in this range previously (meaning below the x600), the 7300, 6500, 6200 (one of those may be wrong number) from XFX and they`ve pretty much been packaged as u`ve described. Box about the size of the card, low profile and the only difference being a passive old-skool looking sink. (which they seem to be implying the 8400 will have in the future)
I know this is around £30, but as time goes by it`ll push £20 as close as it can - especially around the dawn of the 98xx arrivals. There after u`ll catch them for less than £20. (I bought some of the above for £15-£18 pfft)
This card is what it is, as were the previous ones, I think we should appreciate that. It`ll work in a working desktop very well, a workhorse server type pc that u just basically want a display, and has the benefits of crossing to u`r htpc with some added kick.
£20-£30 - and knowing what u`r buying it for, they fill the gap for me. I am a little supprized it doesn`t play C&C a bit better, usually tho with this range of card u can get away with shutting everything down to minimum u can get away with it - but u have to appreciate that that is what u are doing.
Fits in the market well for me.Quote
