Inno3D GeForce GTX 1080 iChill X3 Overclocking

With a 113 percent power limit and 92°C temperature limit set in MSI Afterburner (the maximum in both instances) we were able to add 70MHz to the core with the voltage setting also at full. This gave us new base and boost clocks of 1,829MHz and 1,968MHz respectively, and is a four percent increase to the base clock. The boost clock in game was typically seen at 2,075MHz, which is a great result.

As to the memory, we were able to hit a round 11Gbps effective speed, a six percent improvement on the 10.4Gbps that the card ships with.

System power consumption at the new speeds went up from 410W to 424W, which isn't too bad a trade off.
