XFX GeForce 9600GT XXX Edition Video Card Review

Overclocked Results

This was the stock speeds that the XFX Alpha Dog Edition 9600GT ran at.

This was the maximum overclock sustainable on the stock cooler.

The XFX Alpha Dog Edition 9600GT is a factory overclocked card so I wasn’t expecting much of an additional overclock with the card. The card performed rather well though in overclocking and I was able to achieve 800MHz on the core, 2050MHz on the shaders, and 1101MHz on the memory. Compared to the original 9600GT clockspeeds this is quite a substantial jump in performance. When overclocked the card was able to compete toe to toe with the 8800GT and in most cases beat it rather soundly. I found the Devil May Cry 4 improvement to be quite stunning, when overclocked the card positively took off.
