Overclocking Results

For our overclocking efforts, we were able to attain a stable maximum overclock of 1210MHz on the core, with memory ramped up to a massive 6800MHz DDR. Unfortunately, this wasn't that much higher than the final clock speeds we achieved with MSI, and as a result, the Gigabyte Super OC only scored about 2% better than MSI on both the Performance and Extreme presets. While the difference in capabilities between pre-overclocked cards is small, it's still a decent differentiation given that it's based on the same GPU. In this day and age, the results could have been worse, but at least the Gigabyte card managed to outgun its competition by a small degree. Compared against a stock reference card that was overclocked, the Gigabyte had a 14% overclock performance advantage.
