Overclocking

NVIDIA GTX 780: Core 1202MHz, Memory 1612MHz


With the GTX 780 we get a bit of added voltage to increase the clock speeds to meet our needs. Most importantly more performance in games and synthetic benchmarks. Based on some history with the rest of the Kepler architecture, it was pretty easy to reach the limits of the card with the factory air cooling solution. GPU Boost 2.0 allows some additional leeway when it comes to overclocking by allowing the end user to set both power and thermal limits on the clocks or each one independently. Initially they are linked together so that when you increase one the other follows with a maximum limit of 106% on the power limit and 94 °C for the thermal limit. As you will see in the temperature section we came no where near that thermal limit so the limit for this card was the available voltage and clock speeds it would run with that voltage.
Firing up the latest beta version of EVGA's PrecisionX overclocking and tuning utility, I increased the fan speed to the maximum level; this is to provide the best possible cooling scenario as well as looking at the worst noise levels the fan would ever deliver. I then maxed out the voltage and started increasing clock speeds. The first adjustment netted a dynamic boost clock of 1100MHz on the core for a hefty 200MHz boost over the reference boost clock. Further tuning got the boost clock up to 1202MHz, which proved stable through all of the gaming tests. I could run higher clock speeds through some of the games but not all with 3DMark being the primary failure point. Even so that's about a 34% boost in clock speed on the Kepler core. The memory was a lot less forgiving when it came to overclocking, only reaching 1612MHz or about 7%. Every bit helps when you chase benchmark scores

Maximum Clock Speeds:
Testing for the maximum clock speed consisted of looping Unigine Heaven 4.0 for 30 minutes each to see where the clock speeds failed when pushed. If the clock speed adjustment failed, then the clock speeds and tests were rerun until they passed a full hour of testing.
