AMD Radeon HD 6790 Overclocking Guide
[Posted by: Steve]

Comment
For those that have recently purchased a Radeon HD 6790 graphics card, we have a basic step-by-step guide on how to overclock it to achieve 6850 like performance. Those wanting the maximum bang for their buck are most likely interested in overclocking this new graphics card and we are going to show you how...

Overclocking your graphics card is a very quick and easy way to get a little extra performance out of your system. The overclock we used when testing our Radeon HD 6790 should be considered as a maximum air-cooled overclock for this particular card. That said, we expect that almost all cards will reach 950MHz, which is still an impressive 110MHz increase or 13% boost in frequency.

Thanks for the informative test! There are still some great sub 200 products.

Just one remark on the testing methodology - using Crysis 2 as a benchmark game is like using a toyota prius to benchmark a race track.

@ tiger - Why is that? Crysis 2 is less demanding that the first. Mid-range cards play it with ease as proven in this review.

Anyway good stuff as always :)
