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 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.

Clocks listed here are base clocks; NVIDIA Boost will further increase clocks.



Maximum overclock of our sample is 1150 MHz GPU base clock (11% overclocking) and 1750 MHz memory (17% overclock).

GPU overclocking is good and reaches the typical range for GTX 760 overclocks (1130-1190 MHz). Memory overclocking doesn't work as well because of the Elpida chips used. Chips from Hynix or Samsung overclock much better.

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%.
