With ATI Tool in hand it was time to see what we could do in the overclocking department. The 8800GT 512MB comes in with a core clock of 600MHz and a memory clock of 1800MHz DDR; the 512MB 8800GTS gets a bump to 650MHz and 1944MHz DDR on the memory.

With a bit of time we managed to get our 8800GT to 704MHz on the core and 2012MHz DDR on the memory which is quite the healthy jump indeed. The 8800GTS 512MB on the other hand came in at 720MHz on the core and 2104MHz on the memory. This isn’t as impressive as the 8800GT 512MB, but it’s still a gain nonetheless.

There are a few things we want to find out. Does the increased clockspeeds on the 8800GT 512MB bring it to the GTS level? - And how much further ahead can the GTS 512MB go?

Straight away we can see that the 8800GT when overclocked is able to bring itself up to the performance of the stock 8800GTS. Sure we see the 8800GTS continue on, but it’s not by a huge amount.
