Overclocking

Demonstrating how cautious ASUS had overclocked the card out of the box, we hit the giddy heights of 1100MHz on the Kepler Core. Couple that to an additional 200MHz from the GDDR5 and, manually at least, the GTX780Ti DCUII lives up to that OC suffix.

Temperatures

Naturally the nVidia GPU Boost 2.0 always pushes the card to the maximum thermal threshold so it is to the minimum temperature that the most intriguing insights come, and the DirectCU II continues its great work in a variety of applications by slipping beneath the 30°C minimum.
