XFX GeForce FX5600 Ultra 128MB

[Ian]

OCAddiction takes a look at the XFX GeForce FX5600 Ultra 128MB video card today. Choosing a mid-range to high-end video card is no easy task these days and the OCA crew gives you some hard numbers on whether you should pickup an FX5600 Ultra or a R9600 Pro. Let’s see what they came up with.

The Coolbits registry tweak gave me quite a bit of headroom to overclock the XFX FX5600 Ultra so I stuck with that instead of using a program like RivaTuner. I initially used the auto detect feature to jump to a safe overclock. It brought the card up to 428/857MHz (remember, stock is 400/800MHz). I then began overclocking in increments of 5 MHz, first focusing on the core then memory. I ran one full loop of 3DMark01 in between each setting to look for artifacts and test stability.
