That is an awesome overclock, you managed to acieve on this card. lol. Anotehr review of this card at techgage only managed 700-1475-1200 compared to your 765-1585-1311. Is this definatly correct??
Also the 512mb 4870 is still this cards main competitor as the 1gb version has slower memory.
But what i want to know is how this black edition card compares against the hd4870 512/1gb when they are both overclocked??

Thanks for a GREAT review!
I like XFX Video Cards very much and this one is not an exclusion.
The 'Black Edition' is definitely a great thing, providing you a high-end card pre-overclocked right of the oven.
I wish I had such a great card to upgrade my soon-to-be-old/slow-for games

Yes the clockspeeds are definitely correct. I was quite amazed too but you have to bear in mind every card is different so Techgage might have been unlucky or we got lucky, who knows. It could well be down to me re-applying a thin layer of paste on the core after taking the card apart that allowed better clocks allthough I doubt it as GPU's are very finnicky, especially the memory when overclocking and heat has little bearing on the matter.
The tests were run with the card at STOCK speed, not overclocked.
. I wonder what would be the results if their were taken with these clocks??? (765-1585-1311) :yumyum: 
Sorry webbo. You were quoting me wrong. Please note that I've edited my post.
Of course the 765-1585-1311 clocks are NOT the stock clocks.
And yeah, I'm positively sure the new GTX280 will overclock like a beast!
It would be nice to see it's overclocking results. :yumyum:
I trust you that you'll share with us the findings once you overclock it...

Unfortunately Jim has taken up all of my time with upcoming reviews so sadly the XFX 260 is back in it's box. OC3D is growing rapidly so reviewers have little time to play with the goodies they get to review. I would liked to have sat on the review item a little longer but its like being a kid in a sweet shop, there's just so many different things to try!
Thanks for the kind comments though.

You're welcome Webbo!!!
Thanks for the great reviews you're doing guys! :worship:
And...I wish you'll have more time 'playing' with the products you get to review, mainly if it's a monsterous video card like the GTX260.

Yeah, even with the current circumstances I'm pretty sure it is fun, mainly if you get to keep some of the samples. But even if not, I bet it's still great, fun and interesting thing to do.
I had the opportunity to become an hardware reviewer for another forum, but I didn't take the job, as I'm working like 11 hours everyday and it's hard for me to keep up with the reviews
I have time for that only during the weekend and I want to spend some time with my wife...
Anyway...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
And...BACK TO TOPIC!
