Overclocking

For our overclocking test we used the delivered software ASUS Smartdoctor. 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 1.062 Volt. Using Smartdoctor you can rise the value all the way up to 1.216 Volt. Therefore we found the optimal voltage at 1.177 Volt. At this point it was possible for us to drive the GPU at 966 MHz and the memory at 1'166 MHz.
