Overclocking

Manual overclocking has gotten slightly stabler than on AMD's first drivers. We still had to raise the power limit to its maximum to see any meaningful overclocking.

With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 1900 MHz on the memory (9% overclock) and 2120 MHz on the GPU, which increases average GPU clock from 1996 MHz to 2061 MHz (3% overclock). Memory overclocking is now limited by the length of the slider in Wattman, which stops at 950 MHz.

Overclocked Performance

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


Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 3.8%.
