Overclocking
With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 1900 MHz on the memory (9% overclock) and 2063 MHz on the GPU, which increases average GPU clock from 1918 MHz to 2061 MHz (7% overclock). Memory overclocking is limited by the length of the slider in Wattman, which goes no higher than 1900 MHz.
Testing notes & interpretation- Overclocking results listed in this section are achieved with the default fan, power, and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. We choose this approach as it is the most realistic scenario for most users.
- Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will overclock slightly differently based on random production variances.
- The data in this table shows comparable overclocks, using identical conditions, from previous TechPowerUp Reviews.
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 7.1%.
