Our ASUS sample was 2.56% (+49.34 MHz) faster when comparing stock operation, and 2.05% (+43.54 MHz) faster when overclocked. When compared to the EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 XC BLACK GAMING that we reviewed last month, this card was more capable as one might expect given the sheer size difference between the two cards. It’s very much plausible that one could create a finely tuned custom fan profile that would keep temperatures low, clocks high, and the noise level in reason. That’s not to say any interested buyer would want to set it that way for 24/7 use, it’s just an acknowledgment of the good decisions ASUS made with this heatsink and fan design. While the card certainly was loud, it really was a lot quieter at full tilt than we would have expected. This isn’t a bad result but it was pretty much the same thing we experienced on our EVGA model where the VRAM simply did not want to go any further. With our +1000 MHz boost on memory, we ended up hitting 408 GB/s in memory bandwidth at the increased 17 GHz rate. We observed a peak of 2175 MHz with some fairly frequent climbs up to 2160 MHz. This is a 9.36% (+191.2 MHz) increase when compared to stock operation and a big 18.24% (+357.54 MHz) boost over the NVIDIA reference specification, that’s a really good result and temperatures were cool at 61c with 100% fan speed. ![]() While we averaged a respectable 1946.34 MHz in stock operation, our overclock netted us an average of 2137.54 MHz. Heading over to the graph we see a stark difference in our clock speeds when comparing the overclocked and stock operation results. In terms of GPU-Z information regarding performance cap reasons, we saw indications of hitting max operating voltage, as well as total power limit while stress testing this card. We quickly went to work adjusting settings and running these settings and checking for stability both in a Time Spy loop, as well as in game real world testing utilizing Cyberpunk 2077.Īfter toying around for several hours, we saw that anything beyond +185 MHz on the core and +1000 MHz resulted in instability. It’s a well-built piece of software that I would wholly recommend to anyone who wishes to try it out. This new software has a new refreshed UI. This is a new version of GPU Tweak in the works that supersedes GPU Tweak II. For our overclocking, we will be using GPU TWEAK III for control of its video card lineup. ![]()
