Sapphire Radeon RX 470 Nitro OC Overclocking

After increasing the temperature limit to 90°C and the power limit to 150 percent, we were able to raise the card's boost clock by 100MHz, taking it to 1,360MHz. This is equivalent to an eight percent increase, or 13 percent compared to reference speeds. The card was able to sustain this frequency constantly without fluctuations.

The memory, meanwhile, was stable up to 1.95GHz (7.8Gbps effective), an 11 percent increase.
