EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC Gaming review - 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: 1506 MHz Core Clock: 1595 MHz Core Clock: 1715 MHz
Boost Clock: 1683 MHz Boost Clock: 1785 MHz Max Boost Clock: 2025~2050 MHz
Memory Clock: 8000 MHz Memory Clock: 8000 MHz Memory Clock: 9216 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 PrecisionX from EVGA, Afterburner or any other tweaking utility that supports NVAPI tweaking. Our results:

  • Core Voltage : +100%
  • Power Limit : 112 %
  • Temp. limit : 92C 
  • Core Clock : + 120 MHz
  • Memory Clock : +600 MHz (=9216 MHz effective data-rate)
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. So my prognosis right now is that most GeForce GTX 1070 cards will all run at roughly 2.0 to 2.1 GHz maximum with a few exception here and there. Memory wise you will be able to push just over the 9 GHz marker.

** 3DMark FireStrike results have been updated as we found an anomaly due to overclocking.
