Compared to the Founders Edition that’s a 10% overclock. Compared to the default boost that’s a 4% overclock on the GPU frequency. The highest it boosted at was 2070MHz, but that was very briefly, then it settles down to right above 2GHz, or at 2GHz. We certainly did boost higher than that, it just didn’t sustain that. The average of this clock speed is 1998MHz, or you might as well just call it 2GHz (2000MHz). It is now hovering above 1980MHz most of the time after it settles. This overclock resulted in a higher sustained overclock GPU frequency. This means it will already clock the GPU frequency well above the quoted Boost Clock even without overclocking. Keep in mind that NVIDIA GPU Boost already adjusts the GPU frequency dynamically to utilize most of the potential that is there. That way we can find what frequency we are overclocking from and how much gain we get in overclocking. How do you overclock an EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 ULTRA GAMING video card? Well before we begin to overclock, we need to find out the real-world in-game GPU frequency the video card is operating at by default.
