Sapphire R9 285 2GB ITX Compact OC Edition Graphics Card Review

Overclocking and Overclocked Performance

GPU-Z

Compared to Sapphire’s full sized R9 285 Dual-X OC Edition which overclocked to 1100MHz core and 1550MHz memory this did a fair bit worse. We managed 1050MHz core and 1500MHz memory, that’s 50MHz less on each. The gain is still significant and the R9 285 still performed great for its size – I didn’t expect it to do this well either given it has just a single 8 pin compared to the larger R9 285 cards that can have two 6 pins or a 6 and 8 pin. On the memory side the Elpida memory is the main issue, if it was Hynix we’d probably see 1600-1650MHz.
