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 1135 MHz GPU clock (14% overclocking) and 1830 MHz memory (22% overclock).

Overclocking worked great and delivered significantly higher clocks than the NVIDIA reference board we tested yesterday. However, we see that all three cards reached pretty much the same real-life performance levels after looking at actual performance. It looks like each card uses a slightly different GPU boost configuration.

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 12.2%.
