Overclocked Doom 3 Performance

We achieved the minimum overclock configuration of 7% core, and 12% mem was able to bring a 7% performance improvement in Doom 3. We actually see the XFX and Sparkle parts do better than higher core clocked parts because of the added memory bandwidth.


The memory bandwidth need is even stronger in Doom 3 with 4x AA turned on. These benchmark score improvements tend to be more influenced by the percent improvement in memory clock than core clock.

If you don't tend to overclock, and you want to play with AA on, you will absolutely want the XFX part for its 1.6ns GDDR3.
