Overclocking

To find the maximum overclock of our card we used a combination of GPUTool and our benchmarking suite.
The overclocks listed here were achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. Please note that every single sample overclocks differently, that's why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card.



The overclocks of our card are 640 MHz core (16% overclock) and 2065 MHz Memory (21% overclock). Considering this is a brand-new GPU in 40 nm technology, the overclock is good but not spectacular.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies we ran a quick test of Call of Duty 4 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.


The actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 18.7%.

Temperatures

Temperatures are low, personally I would have liked to see all temperatures shifted by +15°C and got a lot less fan noise in return.
