Overclocking

GPU-Z Screenshot for Overclocked Graphics Card


With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 2000 MHz on the memory (14% overclock) and +170 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases average GPU clock from 1948 MHz to 2071 MHz (6% overclock).

Testing notes & interpretation
  • Overclocking results listed in this section are achieved with the default fan, power, and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. We choose this approach as it is the most realistic scenario for most users.
  • Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will overclock slightly differently based on random production variances.
  • The data in this table shows comparable overclocks, using identical conditions, from previous TechPowerUp Reviews.

Overclocked Performance

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