Overclocking

Overclocking was performed using Nvidia’s drivers and the nTune plugin. No hard or soft mods were performed on the cards and overclocking in this way is meant to represent an “easy overclock”, giving value for money on each card without making too much effort.

Due to the relatively high clock speeds, the overclock wasn’t huge. although the memory managed a very reasonable 106Mhz overclock. I got 800/1106 which is pretty nice.

This produced a nice speed bump, but not a huge one. Perhaps with superior cooling the GPU could see a further boost (at the risk of the warranty).
