To overclock today we are using the latest V4.0.0 of MSI's Afterburner based on the excellent Rivatuner. 
We overrode the default fan settings on the Palit GTX970 JetStream via MSI Afterburner. As we discussed before, the fans on this card don't enable until around 68c load. When overclocking, we wanted the fans active all the time, especially as the temperature curve increased faster. We set the fans to 1,700rpm.

We managed to push the GTX970 core to a Boost speed of 1,400mhz. Great results, but a little behind both ASUS and MSI GTX970 solutions reviewed last week.


This overclock helped boost the graphics scores in 3DMARK11 from 15,913 points to 17,040 points. At this speed the card scored higher than the ‘out of the box' performance of the Asus GTX780 Ti Direct CU II OC.
