Overclocking

The overclocks 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.



Maximum stable clocks of our card are 1260 MHz core (15% overclock) and 1600 MHz Memory (33% overclock).

Overclocking potential is good, slightly higher than the MSI HD 7870 Twin Frozr II, on the same level as the ASUS HD 7870 DC II.

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 20.2%.
