Overclocking and Overclocked Performance
When it comes to overclocking, it’s extraordinarily challenging to achieve huge boosts, especially on factory overclocked models. As a result, the best I could achieve was an increase of 62MHz on the core and an additional 632MHz memory overclock. I even tried to reach the absolute limit by setting a fairly hefty voltage rating. Unfortunately, this didn’t aid stability or improve the graphics card’s overclocking headroom. Despite this, a boost of 2062MHz isn’t too shabby and I’m interested to see how this compares to other custom GTX 1080s. Please note, there was a bug in GPU-Z which meant the overclocked figures were not being displayed properly. Therefore, I’ve listed the original overclock settings below:
To provide an interesting comparison here is the maximum recorded boost clock prior to manual overclocking:
3DMark Fire Strike Ultra
As you can see, the overclock brings the graphics card closer towards a score of 6000 and annihilates the competition when they run at stock parameters.
