Overclocking
We increased the core voltage to 1.0875V and ran Just Cause 2 as a basic stability test.
Card | GPU clock (MHz) |
Memory clock (MHz) |
Core OC | Memory OC | Core percentage | Memory percentage |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 SO 1,024MB | 900 | 4,008 | 975 | 4,450 | 8.33 | 11.03 |
MSI GeForce GTX 560 TF II/OC 1,024MB | 870 | 4,080 | 985 | 4,440 | 13.22 | 8.83 |
ASUS GeForce GTX 560 TOP 1,024MB | 925 | 4,200 | 1,005 | 4,480 | 8.65 | 6.67 |
The table shows the default and overclocked frequencies of the three cards. The percentage improvements over pre-overclocked speeds aren't huge. The best of the trio, when compared to its default speed, is the MSI Twin Frozr II/OC.
Coincidentally enough, the three pre-overclocked cards line up together in both games.
