For overclocking our NVIDIA cards we will be using EVGA's Precision too (ver. 4.0) as this gives us all of the options we require. Should you desire, then Inno3Ds own TUNEIT 2.0 is equally good.
Above is a screenshot of GPU-Z showing the reference (factory overclocked) speeds and reference boost clocks
Given that the card comes overclocked direct from the factory, we didn't expect massive overclocks n the GPU core. We are however happy to report a respectable overclock was achieved. We hit a wall adding 140MHz which started to show signs of instability. We reduced the core by 10MHz and managed to attain stability in all our benchmarks. To achieve a higher overclock on the memory though we had to reduce this overclock further with a balance achieved at 115MHz to grant good core and memory (+550MHz!) overclocks.
After settling on our stable clockspeed which was verified by multiple runs of Unigine Heaven and 3DMark we benchmarked the overclock and compared it to stock results with Unigine Heaven 4.0 to evaluate the benefits of overclocking the GPU.
