Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 Ti 6GB Overclocking Results

With EVGA Precision X ramped up to a 110 percent power target and 91°C temperature one, we were able to add 250MHz to the base clock, a full 25 percent overclock that gave us a rated boost clock of 1,326MHz. Better yet, under sustained load it reached a maximum of 1,452MHz and hovered comfortably around 1,400MHz throughout testing, which is 20 percent faster than the boost speeds we saw at stock clocks.

The GTX 980 Ti uses the same SK Hynix memory as Titan X, and we had the same success when overclocking, reaching a stable 8GHz effective, a 14 percent boost. The fruits of our labours can be seen below:
