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 1090 MHz GPU base clock (7% overclocking) and 1970 MHz memory (13% overclock).
Overclocking is good, but not as good as on some other GTX 780 Ti cards we reviewed before. Still, the GTX 780 Ti generally overclocks much better than the GTX 780 non-Ti.

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.
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 5.4%.
