Conclusion and Verdict
I was able to achieve an overclock of 2100MHz completely stable and didn’t effect the temps at all. Those are very good speeds but the score didn’t reflect much of an improvement. Only a 2.4% increase. I bet we are just simply limited by the low amount of RAM on this card. We can only get so much before we are bottlenecked by something. But this card is well built and has durable hardware to push it even farther that the 1905 boost clock it shipped with. I was impressed with how far I was able to push the clocks on this card! I tested on maximum settings and in Superposition I was averaging about 16 FPS. So this card will do very well with any game on high settings in 1080p.
4K gaming on this card would not be advised as it may really struggle to produce a smooth gaming experience. This card a great entry level card and that what Nvidia intended. They wanted to provide a very well priced iteration to get people in the door. And that exactly what this card will do. 170 bucks and boom your gaming with graphics better than a console.
So is this card worth the money? YES this card is a great entry level graphics card. I would have liked to have seen a backplate, even if it was a plastic one. The cooler performed great, the card never reached full fan speeds so this thing operated pretty quite and I use an open test bench so I notice all fan noises. It is a reliable 1080p card that can be squeezed for some extra performance with a proper cooler and has very low power consumption. Very nice job Gigabyte!
