4850 CF Overclocked vs stock

[lowteckh]

Wondering how much of a difference they would have. There are vantage benches with a single o/ced 4850 that scores GPU 8000, while my 4850CF stock scores GPU 11XXX. But then again these are just benchmark numbers; real world performance gains could possibly be minimal.

Here is my single 4850 overclock:

That didn't answer the question of how much of real world performance gain 2 4850 CF overclocked will have over stock. Just O/Ced cards to 690/1140 and I get 12679 GPU vs 11621 on stock, guess not much to gain from O/C

yah OC gains are not like architechture changes in different card iterations. 4850 is same gpu as 4870 but better. crippled somehow.

my next upgrade is 4870x2. with S:CS looks like devs are able to use multi-gpu effectively.
