Overclocking

Overclocking is complicated by the fact that the GPU will sit in its power limit all the time, which causes Boost to limit the maximum frequencies. For overclocking this means that Boost can interfere at any time if it senses a high power draw by reducing clocks beyond the targets you dialed in manually.

With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 2045 MHz on the memory (17% overclock) and +150 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases average GPU clock from 1879 MHz to 1964 MHz (5% overclock).

Overclocked Performance

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


Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 8.4%.
