Overclocking

As mentioned, the ThunderMaster utility was very much in its early stages for RTX cards when we tested with it, offering no LED control and actually being a little unstable. It also had no Scanner/automatic overclocking as far as we could see, so we relied purely on manual methods to raise the speeds.

The power limit and temperature limit were set to maximum values, 112 percent and 88°C respectively, and we gave the GPU a 100mV voltage boost too.

The highest stable overclock we achieved was with an extra 100MHz on the GPU, taking the base and boost speeds to 1,615MHz and 1,960MHz respectively, which saw in-game boost speeds hit an impressive 2,055MHz or so, or roughly eight percent more than what we hit at stock.

The memory was surprisingly happy all the way up to 15.8Gbps, which is a 13 percent boost.

The results of our overclocking efforts can be seen below.
