Overclocking

With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 1860 MHz on the memory (6% overclock), which is limited by the adjustment range in Wattman. I suspect the chips could go even higher, but for some reason, AMD artificially limits overclocking potential of their cards. GPU overclocking also maxed out the slider range.

The maximum stable overclock was 2067 MHz Boost, which increases average GPU clock from 1847 MHz to 2012 MHz (9% overclock).

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 7.7%.
