Hardware One heeft een review gepost van de Abit Siluro GF256, een GeForce met 5ns ESMT SDR SDRAM. Zoals van Abit verwacht mag worden stelt deze videokaart qua overklokbaarheid absoluut niet tegen: het exemplaar dat door Hardware One werd getest kon tot 145/225MHz overgeklokt worden! Dit is de hoogste memory kloksnelheid die ik tot nu in een review ben tegen gekomen:
You have probably figured out by now that all the cards in the test, including the ABIT Siluro GF256 can function at 89MHz (133x2/3) just fine (otherwise, this would be a very short and pointless review). This appears to be the limit though, as the card becomes unstable in 3DMark2000 at higher FSB. As overclocking stablility is a multi-variable problem, I cannot say with conviction that the limit to higher FSB is the Siluro. Suffice to say that it works at 133MHz just fine.[...] While ABIT clocked the Siluro GF256 at the Nvidia recommended default 120MHz core/166MHz memory, the test card overclocked to an outstanding 145MHz core/225MHz memory. At 150MHz core, "blockiness" started to appear in 3DMark2000. At higher memory speeds, the display cracks up and freezes in all benchmarks. (Your mileage may vary) ABIT does not dissappoint in the overclocking department!

Het is interessant om te zien dat de GF256 op 145/225MHz vergelijkbaar of soms zelfs beter presteert dan een Creative Labs GeForce Pro met 150MHz DDR SDRAM (120/301Mhz).
