Futuremark Overclocking

Overclocking

For our overclocking test we used the delivered software ASUS GPU Tweak. This tool allows you to adjust the core voltage and clock frequencies as well as the memory clock. The standard voltage regarding the GPU is 1.087 Volt. Using Smartdoctor you can rise the value all the way up to 1.170 Volt. For our overclocking we made use of the maximum voltage. At this point it has been possible for us to drive the GPU at 1'080 MHz and the memory at 6'300 MHz.
