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.
Maximum overclock on our card is 1220 MHz GPU clock (13% overclocking) and 1940 MHz memory (21% overclock).
GPU OC potential is comparable to other HD 7790 cards we tested before. Memory OC, on the other hand, is massive and much, much better than any of the competition. What makes this even more impressive is that the XFX card has twice the memory size.

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.
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 17.2%.
