Overclocking

EVGA's done most of the overclocking legwork by pushing the core frequency around 10 per cent higher than default. Using the Precision X tool and increasing the available Power Target to 110 per cent - which is maximum - and also increasing card voltage to 1.175V, we eked out a further 58MHz on the core (which continues to Boost) and a healthy 10 per cent-plus on the memory.

There's a reasonable uplift in performance once overclocked, but bear in mind that power consumption increases from 184W to 221W and the fans spin up enough to be noticeable.
