Overclocking and Overclocked Performance
A little fiddling in GPU tweak allowed us to increase the core clock to 1142 MHz and the memory to 1531 MHz/6124 MHz effective; this is an average gain of 12%, impressive.

Overclocking the core and memory really brings out the best in this card. This mild overclock has allowed it to take top place in our testing. Sadly, the overclock performance increase of 11% wasn’t replicated in the scores, but it did allow a nice 8% increase on average across the 3 tests. Just goes to show how little it is between all these cards if 8% takes it from second to first.
