In no time, the 8800GT Sonic was cruising at 777MHz core, 1782MHz shaders, and 1067MHz memory clocks. We had earlier set the fan to spin at 100% to keep heat in check.

To put that in perspective, 3DMark06 scores 15794, over the "default" 14048. Quake 4 ran 115.9FPS with these clocks, translating to a 12% rise in framerates.
