Overclocking

The overclocking results listed in this section were achieved with the default fan and voltage settings as defined in the VGA BIOS. Please note that every single sample overclocks differently, which is why our results here can only serve as a guideline for what you can expect from your card.



Maximum overclock on our card is 1090 MHz GPU clock (7% overclocking) and 1745 MHz memory (16% overclock).

When looking at the frequencies only, these numbers are disappointing. Other GTX 650 Ti Boost cards that we tested before delivered much higher frequencies. What I find interesting though is that all three cards top out at the same maximum real-life performance levels—looks like each card uses a different boost configuration.

Important: Each GPU (including each GPU of the same make and model) will
overclock slightly differently based on random production variances. This table
just serves to provide a list of typical overclocks for similar cards, determined
during TPU review.

Overclocked Performance

Using these clock frequencies, we ran a quick test of Battlefield 3 to evaluate the gains from overclocking.


Actual 3D performance gained from overclocking is 9.7%.
