Review: ASUS GeForce GTX 650 Ti Direct CU II TOP

Overclocking

We increase the voltage to the maximum permissible 1.175V and then raise clocks until failure sets in. GPU overclocking is reasonable, we suppose, though short of the 1,175MHz achieved by the tiny reference card. Memory overclocking, meanwhile, steadfastedly refused to go above 6,000MHz, even though the chips should do more.

Factor the two together and overclocked performance falls shy of the numbers posted by the 'cherry-picked' reference board provided by NVIDIA.
