Overclocking
Gigabyte’s GTX 760 WindForce OC 2GB graphics card already comes with a 10.3% GPU core overclock and 11.3% GPU boost overclock right out of the box. We were able to eek out an additional 6.5%/70MHz on the GPU core clock and 70MHz/6.1% on the GPU boost clock. On the memory we were able to add 8% or 120MHz actual (480MHz effective) taking the total memory clock to 1622MHz actual or 6488MHz effective.
Compared to reference Nvidia GTX 760 specifications the Gigabyte WindForce OC GTX 760 2GB graphics was able to add 17.9% to the GPU core clock, 18.1% to the GPU boost clock and 8.1% to the effective memory clock.
In terms of actual performance we saw a score of P9149 in 3DMark11, up from P8752 at the factory graphics card speed, meaning an actual performance gain of about 4.7%. If we consider that the Gigabyte GTX 760 WindForce OC already comes overclocked by 10% then an extra 5% of performance is very much welcomed.
