Overclocking
We used our usual overclocking methodology of increasing the Power Target figure in EVGA's PrecisionX software to the maximum permissible - 123 per cent in this case - and then raised the core and frequency clocks until the card couldn't complete three runs of Aliens vs. Predator.
1,060MHz core and 6,608MHz memory is decent enough, we suppose, but it falls some way short of the 1,135/6,800MHz achieved by the custom-cooled KFA² card.
Skipping over a few cards, redlining a GTX 660 Ti provides around 10 per cent extra performance. Note that in-game GPU Boost pushes the core frequency up to 1,202.3MHz in this title, and not the 1,139MHz reported in GPU-Z at the top of the page.
