To overclock the Gaming X Trio, we first maximised the power limit slider at 105%. We were then able to add 280MHz to the GPU and 1000MHz to the GDDR6 memory.

This brought average clock speed up to 2123MHz, which is a hugely impressive result, showing a 14% increase to average GPU frequency.

As a result of this overclock, our gaming performance saw increases from 9-12%, which really isn't bad at all and means the our Gaming X Trio did overclock better than the Gigabyte Gaming OC.

Power draw, meanwhile, rose by just 10W to 177W, which is an increase of 6%.
