Gigabyte GeForce GTX 950 OC 2GB Overclocking Results

Using MSI Afterburner, we set the power limit to 118 percent and the temperature limit to 95°C and got to work.

We were able to add 210MHz to the base clock, taking it to 1,312MHz. In turn, this gave us a boost clock of 1,489MHz, and the card had no issues boosting past that, hovering around the 1,550MHz mark when under sustained load. We've seen GTX 960s exceed 1.5GHz before, so this is hardly a surprise, but it's great to see that the excellent overclocking potential remains intact – going by the base clock, this is a 19 percent overclock.

The Samsung memory chips were happy all the way up to 7.8GHz, which is an 18 percent improvement over stock. At this speed, the card's total memory bandwidth increases from 105.6GB/sec to 124.8GB/sec.
