Overclocking

The overclocking results listed in this section were achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. Please note that every single sample overclocks differently which is why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card.

On NVIDIA cards with boost, the values discussed here are base clock. Boost will further increase clocks.



Maximum overclock of our sample is 1160 MHz GPU (base) clock (15% overclocking) and 1950 MHz memory (13% overclock).

GPU overclocking potential is even better than the NVIDIA reference design I reviewed on launch day. Let's hope that retail GTX 780 Ti Boards overclock just as well. Memory overclocks well, too, because of the fast memory chips, and reaches typical levels for 7 Gbps GDDR5.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies, we ran a quick test of Battlefield 3 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.


Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 9.9%.
