It's time to see what the overclocking potential of our review sample is like. The card we are testing comes overclocked directly from the factory. The reference clock speeds for the 5830 are 800/1000 and our card comes clocked at 840/1100. With some additional help from MSI Afterburner we managed to get as high as 900/1200 while maintaining stability.
Our increase in clock speeds gained us an additional 2 FPS on our minimum and average results and 4 more on our maximum FPS. While not a massive increase any free performance is always welcome.
Vantage also show gains across the board gaining an extra 755 points in our overall GPU score which is not bad at all.
