Overclocking

With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 2020 MHz on the memory (15% overclock) and +100 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases average GPU clock from 2031 MHz to 2105 MHz (4% overclock).

What really helps with overclocking is that ASUS has raised the board power limit by enough to ensure the card won't run into the power limiter all the time, which simplifies overclocking a lot because you can dial in exactly the clocks you want without the power limit getting in your way.

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 6.7%.
