We managed to push the core clock up by 200MHz. Up to an additional 230MHz was stable using Unigine Heaven benchmark, but 3DMark Fire Strike Stress Test would not pass. We backed the level down to +200MHz and got stability for 10 Fire Strike loops.
Memory was overclocked by 250MHz to 8Gbps effective. The power level was set at 125% using MSI Afterburner in order to ensure sufficient power was sent to the GPU.
Whether we added 200MHz or 230MHz to the GPU, the maximum core clock always topped out at 1911MHz. Just shy of 2GHz is solid performance and shows that Samsung's 14nm FinFET process can compete with the speeds offered by TSMC's 16nm FinFET-built chips.
The performance increase from overclocking is decent. You can add almost 10% to the FPS in Rise of the Tomb Raider, though Gears of War 4 and 3DMark Fire Strike show more conservative gains.
Fan speed and GPU core temperature were barely affected by the added clock speed, so this is quite literally free additional performance.
One for the NV Fanboys, Smart buyers will go for RX470

Not necessarily. It depends on how much you want to spend on a GPU. I just bought one of these today after reading this review, among many others. I picked it up for AU$229 while the cheapest RX470 I can find is AU$279 (HIS brand) or AU$308 for a similar MSI version (MSI Radeon RX470 Gaming X). Yeah “it’s only $50 difference” (or $79 for the MSI) but I didn’t want to spend the extra money on my spare computer (wife will use it mainly). (Side note: My PC has a GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce so I can appreciate more powerful cards, but it’s overkill for my spare).
For the same price point I’d have to get a Sapphire Radeon RX460 Nitro 4GB, and it simply isn’t as good as the MSI GTX 1050 Ti Gaming X card.
At least Nvidia gpus manage to keep a steady high fps without random fps drops in the finished game, and not just in the alpha version like certain other gpus.
I got one of these last saterday as a bday present.I personally have to say price to performance this are most prob the best card here.I opted for the 1060 3gb but then i had to upgrade psu etc.I am not much of a gamer(mostly emulator games as i am old school gamer)I love to push the limit of the card.
The oc capability are mind boggling.Started today.Got it to 150 mhz on the gpu and 200 mhz on the memory.Stock voltage.Pretty sure will get around 350 on the memory on stock(if i am lucky)After reading some reviews it performs pretty well.Problem for me are i am still running an amd FX 4170 k.Will be getting the nxt gen ryzen cpu as not wasting time again on first gen cpu’s.Just personally i am truly impressed.Not a big msi fan but from back in 2004 or something they had some of the best oc cards out there(my old 9600 pro could do around a 25%+ oc back then :D)
