We would like to thank the following companies for supplying and supporting us with our test system hardware and equipment: Intel, ASRock, Kingston, Mittoni, Noctua and Corsair.

Because we wanted to really see the extra performance on offer from the overclock today, we've kept with the Catalyst 11.4 driver suite which was used on our HD 6670 Ultimate. Along with that card, we've also got the HD 6770 Vapor-X and from NVIDIA we've got the GTX 550 Ti Cyclone II.

Let's get started!
