ASUS V7100/T GeForce2 MX

Overclocked Performance

Since the best way to get the most performance out of any GeForce2 MX based card, the V7100 included, let's see how it performs when pushed to the limit we could get it: 210/210 MHz. In addition, let's see how the card performs at 180/170 MHz, the speed our V7100 came shipped at.

Let's first take a look at the performance gain that our card at 180/171 MHz provided. Represented by the black bars in the above graph, one can see that the 5 MHz core and memory overclock did little to increase speed, with the most noticeable performance increase coming at 1024x768x32. Once again, we are uncertain whether or not the shipping cards will come at this overclocked speed, but if not, you are not loosing out too much, with the maximum performance gain of 3.5%.

Overclocking the card to the max we could get it, 210/210 MHz, proved to be a different story. Shown in the red bars above, overclocking the V7100 provided for quite a performance boost, especially at the crucial resolution of 1024x768x32. Going 15 FPS faster, resulting in 27.4% increase in speed, the extra FPS will be noticed. At 69.8 FPS, the ASUS V7100 provides quite a bang for its buck.
