Overclocking Part 2
by
Thomas Pabst
The only card in the test that already ships in overclocked mode is the Hercules Dynamite TNT. The chip runs at 98/125 MHz by default and Hercules is the only manufacturer that provides a full overclocking utility (Hercumeter) with its drivers. Hercules guaranties that the card will run at the 98/125 MHz, which already gives you a 12% performance edge over any other card in this test. Creative's Graphics Blaster RIVA TNT gives you the chance to at least overclock the memory via its drivers, for all the other cards you'll need a utility.

The 'Hercumeter' from Hercules.
