Gainward Phantom GLH GeForce GTX 960 2GB Review

Overclocking and Overclocked Performance

Now we see how these cherry picked parts come into play. For some reason, normal GPU-z wouldn’t show the overclock on the memory, but Asus’ version did. We see an increase of 8% boost clock and 10% memory clock over factory speeds; remember that this card is already factory overclocked. That means that this overclock has achieved a massive 23% core boost clock and 13% memory clock; not bad for a card that only costs 5% more.

With an extra 8% boost over the factory overclocks, we have achieved an average gain of 8% across the 3 tests. In the 4k test, there was an odd result, which yielded 17% increase. This test was performed 5 times in total and the results averaged at 17%, very nice for ‘free’ performance.
