Overclocking The Graphics Card
Overclocking The Graphics Card
Traditional overclocking - As most of you know, with most video cards you can apply a simple series of tricks to boost the overall performance a little. Typically you can tweak on core clock frequencies and voltages. By increasing the frequency of the videocard's memory and GPU, we can make the videocard increase its clock cycles per second.

| Original | This sample | Overclocked |
| Core Clock: 1506 MHz | Core Clock: 1531 MHz | Core Clock: 1611MHz |
| Boost Clock: 1683MHz | Boost Clock: 1721 MHz | Max Boost Clock: 1975~2025 MHz |
| Memory Clock: 8008 MHz | Memory Clock: 8008 MHz | Memory Clock: 8996 MHz |
Our applied tweak with Afterburner (download):
- Core Voltage : 100%
- Power Limit : 112 %
- Temp. limit : 92C
- Core Clock : +80
- Memory Clock : +500 MHz (=8.996 GHz effective data-rate)
Once overclocked keep this in mind: Due to the dynamic nature of the boost clock, your frequency is not fixed. Limiters and monitors, temperature, load, power and voltages will continuously alter a maximum clock state. For most founders cards these will all be the same, likely for board partners as well.
