Overclocking the Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Edition


So I've finally managed to put away a some time to write this post bit by bit so that I can have more time to work on the Oh Baby! rig post. I've managed to benchmark the overclock on six games that have actual benchmark programs built into the game. The games are Mafia II, Just Cause 2, Far Cry 2, Dirt 3, Dawn of War 2: Retribution, and Batman Arkham City. It is a bit odd how all the games happen to be sequels, but it seems more like a coincidence rather than anything else. One thing I like to look at is if the games are V-Sync stable. When I say this I mean averaging at 60+ FPS consistently. The reason I prefer V-Sync is because with this card it can cause tearing in the screen very easily if the FPS is much too low or very high and takes away from the visual experience. I recently downloaded the newest beta nVidia driver (306.02) as it has some minor improvements for the GTX 600 series cards.
