Overclocking

The overclocking results listed in this section were achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. Please note that every single sample overclocks differently, which is why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card.



We used the Boost BIOS for our testing, which runs increased voltage compared to the normal BIOS.

The maximum stable clocks of our card are 1275 MHz core (6% overclock) and 1885 MHz memory (18% overclock).

Important: Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model)
will overclock slightly differently based on random production variances.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies, we ran a quick test of Battlefield 3 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.


Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 10.6%.
