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 most 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 are the highest observed boost clock after overclocking. The same clock increase was applied to all clock levels.



Maximum overclock of our sample is 2290 MHz on the memory (14% overclock) and +139 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases maximum Boost from 1962 MHz to 2101 MHz (7% overclock).

This is the first GTX 1070/1080 that I have tested that comes with Micron memory. As you can see below, memory OC potential is about 100 MHz lower than what we've seen on Samsung memory, but the difference is not huge. Also, I've not noticed any stability issues at all with the card; it runs perfectly fine, just like any other GTX 1070.

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 10.8%.
