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

Here we were able to add another 80MHz to the GPU, and 1100MHz to the memory. That memory overclock isn’t as good as what we managed with the MSI Suprim X, which was able to handle an extra 1270MHz, though this will vary from model to model.

The GPU overclock, however, saw the card's average clock speed increase up to 2189 MHz, which is still about 40MHz faster than the Suprim X.

Gaming frame rates only increased by 2-5% as a result of this overclock however, as the Xtreme Waterforce was already running pretty close to its limits, so overclocking doesn’t result in big gains.
