Overclocking

With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 2000 MHz on the memory (14% overclock) and +130 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases average GPU clock from 1980 MHz to 2094 MHz (6% overclock).

What really helps with overclocking is that EVGA 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 exactly dial in 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 8.3%.
