Overclocking

GPU-Z Screenshot for Overclocked Graphics Card


While the AMD reference 6800 XT needed an increase in power limit to show any performance gains from overclocking, this wasn't an issue on the Sapphire Nitro+. It seems Sapphire bumped the power limit in their BIOS high enough, so that the card isn't getting limited.

Testing notes & interpretation
  • 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.
  • Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will overclock slightly differently based on random production variances.
  • The data in this table shows comparable overclocks, using identical conditions, from previous TechPowerUp reviews.

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 5.5%.
