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 1160 MHz core (4% overclock) and 1625 MHz Memory (25% overclock).

XFX's card provides decent additional overclocking beyond the already high stock clock of 1120 MHz. It's nice to see that there is still some additional potential left in the card, which also provides a stability safety margin for people running their card at stock in very hot regions or cases with little airflow.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies we ran a quick test of Call of Duty 4 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.


Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 6.4%.

Temperatures

Good temperatures! XFX didn't sacrifice temperatures by going for low noise levels.

Clock Profiles

Modern graphics cards have several clock profiles that are selected to balance power draw and performance requirements.
The following table lists the clock settings for important performance scenarios and the GPU voltage that we measured. We measure on the pins of a coil or capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.
