Overclocking
I couldn’t just let the Titan X come through the office without seeing just how well it overclocks right? So to do that I split up the overclocking between the GPU overclock and the memory overclock, overclocking then testing each overclock using 3DMark Vantage, documenting each step along the way. Then once I figured out the peak overclocks individually I put them together to see if the card can handle them together. SO.. How did the Titan X do? Well for GPU clock speeds I started at the 1076MHz stock speed and bumped it up to 1400MHz before it failed. In the end I was able to edge the Titan X up to 1340MHz. For the memory I started at the stock clock of 7010MHz and maxed out at 8200MHz without any artifacts, at 8300MHz the Titan X could complete the test but had a few artifacts. After that I ran both overclocks together without any issues. So with our overclock how did that affect performance? Well we started at 103.80 and with the overclock got an FPS of 118.16.
