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 single 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.



Maximum overclock on our card is 1075 MHz GPU base clock (10% overclocking) and 1810 MHz memory (17% overclock).

Overclocking works well and reaches clocks that I'd say are on the upper end of the spectrum for typical GTX 780 overclocks. Memory overclocks very well too, and isn't held back by the use of Elpida memory like on some EVGA and MSI GTX 780 cards.

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 11.1%.
