"I was curious to see just how far the latest and greatest from Nvidia could be pushed, and I was able to gain 112 MHz on the GPU core, 147MHz on the memory and 237MHz on the Shader clock speeds. These represent increases of 16% on the GPU, 12% on the memory and 15% on the Shader clocks. 100+ MHz on all three seems like a lot, but the GTX 280 does not have the overclocking headroom that the 9-series GPUs have. Everyone's mileage may vary when it comes to overclocking, as you well know. In today's performance hungry world, the video card manufacturers have given us a little bit for free, so to speak, and these increased clock speeds did improve performance across the board during the testing phase of this review. With expectations of increased performance bouncing around the inside of my skull, let's see just how well the GTX 280 performs."
