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 calculation clock cycles per second.
 

Original	This sample	Overclocked
Core Clock: 1,506 MHz	Core Clock: 1,633 MHz	Core Clock: 1,733 MHz
Boost Clock: 1,683 MHz	Boost Clock: 1,835 MHz	Max Boost Clock: ~2,100 MHz
Memory Clock: 8,000 MHz	Memory Clock: 8,000 MHz	Memory Clock: 9,216 MHz

Now if you are going to OC in the default manner and thus not with all new curved clock frequency tweaks then your values be something close to this, you can use ASUS in-house software, PrecisionX from EVGA, Afterburner or any other tweaking utility that supports NVAPI tweaking. Our results:

• Core Voltage : +100%
• Power Limit : 120%
• Temp. limit : 92C 
• Core Clock : + 100 MHz
• Memory Clock : +600 MHz (= 9,216 MHz effective data-rate)
