For our manual overclocking tests, we used AMD built-in tuning tool. Our best results are as below.

With 2860MHz dialled in, the GPU averaged just shy of 2800MHz in the real world. That's still a tidy boost over stock however, with an extra 187MHz on tap thanks to the overclock.

Overall, this overclock saw frame rates improve by between 6-9%, which we have to say is pretty typical of the other RDNA 2-based GPUs we have tested.

Power draw rose by 11W in Cyberpunk 2077 with the overclock dialled in, which is only an extra 7% versus stock.
