ASUS GeForce GTX 760 MARS Review - Overclocking

Using the Asus GPU Tweak software, we began by raising the card's power target to 105 percent and the temperature target to 95°C, the maximum allowed in both cases.

We settled on an overclock of 1,127MHz on both cores (the GPU Tweak software automatically overclocks them both together). This is equal to a 12 percent (121MHz actual) overclock, which isn't the best we've ever seen but still isn't bad, especially for a dual GPU card. The reported boost clock at this level was 1,192MHz, but it actually more commonly sat at 1,254MHz under load, which is excellent.

For the memory, we were able to push it from 6GHz effective to 6.5GHz effective, which is an 8 percent speed bump. The impressive results of these overclocks can be seen in the graphs below.
