For our manual overclocking tests, we used MSI Afterburner. Our best results are as below.

Above: Performance BIOS, left, Silent BIOS, right.

For overclocking, it's important to note that while the Performance BIOS power limit can be increased up to 400W, if you're using the Silent BIOS the power limit is locked at 100%, so it can't be adjusted above 340W.

Using the Performance BIOS then, we were able to add 110MHz to the GPU, though the memory didn't overclock that well, as anything above 1200MHz resulted in performance degradation.

The GPU frequency increased to an average of 2994MHz during our thirty minute stress test, a real-world increase of about 170MHz.

As for what difference this overclock actually makes, we saw improvement of around 6% in the three titles we re-tested, so it's not massive overall but is better than nothing.

Power draw did also rise by about 10W as a result of this overclock, which is barely a 3% increase.
