Overclocking
We're mixing things up with RTX overclocking. Rather than push samples to their absolute limit, we're keeping things consistent between cards by using Precision X1's built-in Scanner Tool to help determine an optimal frequency curve.
Our own tests have revealed that we can squeeze a little extra out of the cards if we try, but the Scanner Tool is a good approximation. After passing the test, Palit's RTX 2080 GameRock Premium Edition was elevated to a boost clock of 1,928MHz, and memory had no problem operating at 15.6Gbps.
The Scanner Tool is a nifty utility to have. Getting that extra ounce of performance is literally just a click away.
