To test ATI video cards, we used the latest Catalyst 5.6 WHQL-drivers, and ForceWare 77.72 and 77.62 drivers - for NVIDIA cards.
Overclocking
Although originally Gainward's 7800GTX is already overclocked relative to the standard, we did not restrict ourselves by that. In the end, we succeeded in attaining simply fantastic results without modifications to the standard cooling - 525/1340MHz!
Remember that our previous overclocking experiments with the reference NVIDIA GeForce 7800GTX board showed a more moderate result - 500MHz for the chip. Memory in these two video cards showed approximately the same overclocking - a 10MHz difference in favor of the NVIDIA's board.
