Overclocking

Overclocking results listed in this section are achieved with the default fan, power, and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. We choose this approach as it is the most realistic scenario for most users.

Every sample overclocks differently, which is why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card.



With manual overclocking, the maximum overclock of our sample is 2250 MHz on the memory (7% overclock), which is held back by the adjustment limit in Wattman; the memory chips could certainly clock even higher. Maximum GPU clock is 1620 MHz, which is a small 2.5% increase only.

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 3.9%.
