Overclocking

Overclocking results listed in this section are achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. We choose this approach as it is the most realistic scenario for the majority of users.

Every 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. Boost is already factored into our resulting clocks for AMD cards because of the way their technology works.



Maximum overclock of our sample is 1385 MHz GPU base clock (8% overclock) and 1985 MHz memory (13% overclock).

Overclocking potential is a bit lower than with other GTX 960s we reviewed, but the difference is really small. All cards in our test group essentially reach roughly the same clocks, making for yet another feature where no vendor can really differentiate itself.

MSI GTX 960 Gaming1410 MHz2065 MHz
ASUS GTX 960 STRIX1380 MHz2025 MHz
Palit GTX 960 Super Jetstream1400 MHz2075 MHz
Important: Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will overclock slightly
differently based on random production variances. This table just serves to provide a list of typical
overclocks for similar cards, determined during TPU review.


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 11.3%.
