Overclocking
With manual overclocking, maximum overclock of our sample is 1995 MHz on the memory (14% overclock) and ++185 MHz to the GPU's base clock, which increases average GPU clock from 1867 MHz to 1945 MHz (3% overclock).
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.
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 4.1%.
