I decided not to overclock
the CPU or memory for this testing. Both video cards were run on the Soltek
board with the stock CPU and memory speed. Both cards were overclocked to
their limits. Any artifacting meant that the overclocking of the video card
had to be reduced. Both cards featured similar core speeds: 245 MHz for the
Leadtek card and 250 MHz for the Impact 4. Memory speeds were very different:
385 MHz for the Leadtek card and 245 MHz for the Impact 4.
