300/600 = gainwards enhanced mode
275/500 = gainwards safe mode or base 440mx (no testing done here, will do)
I have looped it many times at each speed score doesn't change. At320/621 no signs of artifacts. the card has the 3.3ns memory on it.
The highest Gainwards utility will let me set it is at 330/630...I will test it!!!
remember it doesn't run nature scene so it takes a hit. In the regular test I see high frame rates right with my radeon 8500DV clocked at slightly above its 215/390 default rate. that card score in the low to mid 8000 at that level and can do test 4. My radeon 8500LE did 10000 at 2.53ghz with it clocked to 275/550 or basically a retail card.
I would say the vibrant colors in my dvds and divx movies seem very noticeably better against the DV card. It may be an adjustment but I was surprised since ATI is supposed to excel at that...
Edit:
The sweet spot appears to be core no more then 325...ater that there appers to be some flashing anamoly...I raised core to 335 and it got worse so I lowered it to 324 and raise memory to 635 and had no artifacts but the score was diminished from 324/626.....
