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.
So AfterBurner is in a new Beta stage development and voltage control is still pending. However, even withouth it you'll reach the 2100 MHz marker. The memory on our sample was insanely tweakable as we reached 9.6 GHz.
Our applied tweak:
- Core Voltage : N/A
- Power Limit : 108 %
- Temp. limit : 92C
- Core Clock : + 140
- Memory Clock : +760 MHz (=9.1 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.
