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.



Maximum overclock on our card is 1120 MHz GPU clock (21% overclocking) and 1815 MHz memory (21% overclock).

The GTX 670 DC Mini doesn't, as you can see below, have to compromise on overclocking. Maximum clocks seem to be right in the middle of what we've seen on various other GTX 670 cards. A 20% overclock is pretty nice and offers an additional free performance boost.

Important: Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will
overclock slightly differently based on random production variances. This table
just serves to provide a list of typical overclocks for similar cards, determined
during TPU review.

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 16.1%.
