”Overclocking is a way to basically add free performance for added frame rates in games. Initially I thought this card would at best deliver a small overclock due to the work done to fit the TDP. However, I was wrong when I saw the clock speeds climb, finally reaching 1078MHz on the core and 1550MHz on the GDDR5 memory. These are boosts of over 10% from both the GPU and memory, which do indeed deliver additional performance, including a nice 700+ point boost in 3DMark's Fire Strike test. Not bad if you can get it. Overclocking is a way to improve you performance-to-cost ratio, and with this card, you do get that added value."
