My apologies for taking 3 days to respond. Usually respond much faster than that.
Yes, I do have my card overclocked. It used to be at around 196 or 198MHz (can't remember), and then, after redoing the benchmarks at higher resolutions later on, I realized that that was unstable, and so found that 192 was stable. Of course, I dialed that to 188, and just a few days ago, I thought it would be wise to dial it back to 180. If you are curious, the card is being cooled by a nice Noctua fan that I have zip-tied onto the card's heatsink, and later, I might decide to thermal tape some heatsink onto the memory chips.
Now, I did go ahead and test whether it was the overclock or not. The original clip I showed was the card overclocked to 180MHz playing the "modern patch" version of NFS3 (using the original game files from my copy of the vanilla game). This following video is with the card at the same overclock, but playing the vanilla game:

I then tested both versions of the game at the default, stock 166MHz clock, and the same results presented themselves for each game respectively.
