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

For our overclocking tests, we were able to max out the memory slider at +2000MHz, bringing effective speeds up to 34Gbps. My best GPU result came with +400MHz applied, and this brought real-world frequency to just over 3.2GHz. We also maxed out the power limit slider at +16%.

This overclock saw performance gains vary a fair bit from game to game, with just a 5% boost to Cyberpunk, a 7% gain in A Plague Tale: Requiem, and then a very impressive 11% improvement in Senua's Saga: Hellblade 2.

Power draw did also rise accordingly, up to 317.4W, marking an 8% improvement over stock.
