Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1060 WindForce OC 3GB Overclocking

The maximum power limit on this card is 116 percent and the highest temperature limit is 92°C. With these set, we proceeded to see how far we could push the card.

The GPU was happy running at 150MHz more than the OC Mode speeds. This means a base clock of 1,732MHz and a boost clock of 1,947MHz. It's also nine percent quicker than OC Mode and 15 percent faster than reference GTX 1060 speeds (going by base clock). We were not able to go beyond this speed even when adding extra voltage.

The memory, meanwhile, was stable all the way to 2.35GHz, for an effective speed of 9.4Gbps that increased memory bandwidth from 192GB/sec to 225.6GB/sec; an impressive 17.5 percent boost.
