TEST RESULTS – OVERCLOCKING
Many seem to believe that the R9 380 is not a good overclocker and although that’s partially true we did manage to squeeze 120MHz more on the core (compared to the OC mode) and 125MHz on the memory modules (6000MHz effective). Not bad right?
Of course we retested the card to see what kind of improvement you can expect if you OC it as much (and also what you can expect in terms of temperatures).
Our OC resulted in roughly a 14% boost in Alien Isolation and almost a 17% boost in Battlefield 4 (temperatures increased 5 degrees under load).
