- Overclocking the Club3D HD6790 CoolStream edition
For our overclocking tests we used the latest MSI AfterBurner utility which also allows you to unlock the card's voltages for further tweaking. We enabled the 'Core Voltage' slider (through the 'settings' tab).
Here are the results:
| Original clock | Overclocked |
| Core Clock: 840MHz | Core Clock: 950MHz |
| Shader Clock: 840MHz | Shader Clock: 840MHz |
| Memory Clock: 1050MHz | Memory Clock: 1200MHz |
We left the fan RPM control to default PWM controlled (21%) which is not too noisy but slightly audible when far overclocked.
Below you see the actual in-game performance you may experience after overclocking with the Far Cry 2 game:
- Overclocking the Gainward GTX 560Ti 2048MB Phantom
Again, we used the MSI AfterBurner utility. Here are the results:
| Original clock | Overclocked |
| Core Clock: 822 MHz | Core Clock: 900MHz |
| Shader Clock: 1645 MHz | Shader Clock: 1800MHz |
| Memory Clock: 2004 MHz | Memory Clock: 2150MHz |
As you see in the screenshot below, during overclocking the the fan RPM was automatically set to 49% and the maximum temperature of the GPU was 73 degrees C:
Here is what we measured with the overclocked Gainward GTX 560Ti 2GB graphics card:
