For our manual overclocking tests, we used MSI Afterburner. Our best results are as below, with +130MHz to the GPU and +1200MHz to the memory.

This resulted in a new average clock speed of just over 2052MHz, a 7% increase over stock clocks.

This saw our frame rates increase by 7-8%, which is really what we’d expect from Ampere and isn’t anything mind-blowing, but I guess it’s better than nothing.

Lastly, power draw did also bump up when manually overclocked, up to a new average of 272.8W, a 12.6% increase compared to the out of the box power draw.
