We had pretty good luck when over-clocking the Hulk
V. We were able to get the core over-clocked
to 200MHz from a default of 175Mhz. and were able
to crank the memory all the way up to 190MHz. from
a default of 166MHz. We ran our usual suite of benchmarks with the
X-Micro Hulk V GeForce 2 MX. MadOnion's
3DMark 2000 D3D benchmark was first. We ran
3D Mark 2000 at both the default and over-clocked clock speeds: 3D
MARK 2000 
And
while over-clocked... 
Not
bad for a 100 bucks, huh? We'd also like to report
that the Hulk V ran like a charm throughout
testing. Of course we started to see a
rather dramatic drop in performance with the
higher resolutions, but I think that is to be
expected because of the "slower" SDRAM
used on MX cards. Let's
move on to MadOnion's Video 2000... VIDEO

2000 measures the video capabilities, performance
and overall image quality of a video card. The
Hulk V performed quite well for a
"budget" video card.
And
now for some OpenGL testing. First up we
used MDK2's built-in timedemo. Again, we ran
the demo at both default and over-clocked speeds.

MDK 2
ran quite nicely at the Hulk V's default clock
speed. Let's see how much better it performs
while over-clocked!
Over-clocking
yielded great results. As
you can see, even at 1024 x 768 MDK2 ran like a
champ.
It’s pretty hard to complain when it
comes down to price and value.
