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, that's why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card.



The maximum stable clocks of our card are 1240 MHz core (3% overclock) and 1740 MHz memory (16% overclock).

GPU overclocking potential is outstanding and better than that of any other GTX 680 cards we have tested so far. Memory overclocks well, too, but other cards easily reach higher clocks.

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 10.2%.
