| ASUS V8420 Pure / V8460 Ultra Deluxe The Art Of Deception | |
| (Review by MS, July 31, 2002) |
3DMark2001 4 x AA 1600 x 1200
We can only show the results of the V8460 and the V8420. The Ti500 would not run at this setting, the RADEON 8500 would but uses super sampling instead of the multi sampling and even though the net looks are comparable in quality, the scores of roughly 6000 for the RADEON at the same settings are not comparable to the GF4 scores, adding them would not exactly be meaningful here.
Overclocking the V8420
The V8420 is specked at 250/444 MHz core/memory operating frequency but ASUS has added their own clock frequencies control panel for the overclocking community. For the record, CodeCreatures scores at 1024x768 increased from 23.6 to 27.85 at this setting, bringing the V8420 into the intimate vicinity of the V8460.
Considering the original frequencies at 250/444 MHz, these settings seriously rock. Moreover, the card only showed very occasional pixel droputs at this speed and never crashed.
Overclocking the V8460
There was no problem in desktop applications getting the V8460 to that speed but unfortunately, under load, the card would crash above 310/675 MHz.
