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

Gigabyte Gaming OC

The Gaming OC allowed us to max out the memory slider, while we added 355MHz to the GPU. Interestingly, the Gigabyte allows for the biggest adjustment to power limit, with the slider going up to 125%, a 450W maximum.

MSI Suprim SOC

The Suprim SOC also allows some power adjustment, but only up to 111%. We were still able to maximise the memory slider and we added 400MHz to the GPU.

Palit GamingPro OC

Lastly, the GamingPro OC has the smallest power limit adjustment, up to 105%. We again maxed out the memory slider and added 295MHz to the GPU.

Now all three overclocks were pretty impressive, and all three models ran at over 3150MHz, resulting in gains of 7-10% over the stock results. There;s very little to split between the three in terms of which one overclocked the best, the Gaming OC was a frame ahead on a couple of occasions, but nothing at all significant.

The Gaming OC did see the biggest increase to power draw though, hitting 410.5W, a 20W increase over the GamingPro OC on 389.7W, while the Suprim SOC was the most frugal at just under 382W.
