To overclock today we are using the latest version of MSI's Afterburner based on the excellent Rivatuner.
We managed to squeeze almost another 7% from the core before the system would hardlock – this is with the standard supplied air cooling. The memory can be overclocked considerably – we managed to get the solution stable at 2,061mhz (8.24Gbps effective) before artifacting would occur. An incredible result.
The substantial manual overclock helped raise performance to within shouting distance of a reference clocked Nvidia Titan X, less than 100 points behind in 3DMark 11.

Aren’t the clockspeeds of this card the exact same of the KINGPIN 980 from EVGA?
Yes same clocks. Ian’s card offers high performance out the box without the need to block it, KPE you need to block it and rely on the beefed up VRM plus Vince said it’s built for LN2. Only the Asus GTX 980 20th Anniversary Gold Edition offers higher factory clocks at 1431MHz, and again beefed up VRM.
Still not as high a clock as the 980 Classified…
INCORRECT. The stock clock speed for the 980 Classified is 1442MHz. I would know, I own one.
See?

Factory clocks are minimum clocks, what they vary to during gaming/benchmarking is another matter as well as filtered chips and the game in question. Good to see yours doing well even though your voltage is showing it at the maximum of 1.212V to give it that increase in clocks.
If the graphs here also stated the max boost clocks during each test it would make comparisons a little easier, only performance indicator is the FPS. All relevant when talking about benchmarking cards at stable maximum attainable clocks.
Nope, that’s all stock how this card came. I can even hit a stable 1585MHz OC.
Good to know. Post your max OC 3D11 score to compare to this card, I have a huge interest in GPUs and benching 🙂
I don’t use 3D11. also with benchmarks like that my CPU becomes an issue with bottlenecking. I’ve had a friend beat my score in Unigen Heaven with a 970 because he was using a 4770k vs my FX-8320… I can’t wait till the 6700K comes out! 😀
< col Hiiiiiii Friends….upto I saw the draft ov $8289 , I accept that my father in law woz trully earning money parttime from there labtop. . there moms best frend has been doing this for only about 8 months and recently cleard the mortgage on there house and purchased a new Dodge . linked here HERE’S MORE DETAIL

Will be irrelevant when GTX 980ti ships out this or next month.
