Quick GPU Overclock question.

[Jacob19]

My friend is getting an Alienware Aurora with a Gtx 1070 Founders Edition with a 1506MHz base clock and 1683MHz boost clock. He wants to know how much of a difference there will be between my 1070 and his. While gaming my 1070 stays between 2038MHz and 2063Mhz. He dosen't want to overclock so that's out of the equation.

 

Thanks

I believe with these cards it is up to the manufacturer to decide the twd which will depend on cooling.

 

I suggest running benchmarks and compare scores. Make sure it is a gpu only test.

I'm thinking the difference between the two will be ~20%.

Seriously! That much?

Yeah we will definitely be doing benchmarks.

It's going to be closer to 20%, and this may still be a pretty generous number, depending on the title. How I got the 20% value is dividing the boost clock of the Aurora's 1070, and the boost clock of your 1070. But the memory clocks will also play a part as well in increasing frame rate. So it might go up to 25% difference.

Damn ok thanks man, that's unfortunate for my friend...

However, have your friend(if he's still getting it) test the clock speeds of the GPU while in some game to see where it clocks up to. It's very possible for him to get clock speeds higher than advertised if temperatures are okay, and the silicon lottery permits it.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping for, I sent him JayzTwoCents video on how to get better performance without overclocking by simply increasing the max temp and  make a custom fan curve. Thanks for your help tonight.
