Can I overclock an Asus GTX OC graphics card further

Phaydze · Aug 21, 2013

Hey guys,
I am planning to buy the Asus GTX 680 DirectCU II OC, and just wanted to know if I can later overclock it further. Also, is it worth buying over the EVGA GTX 760 SC w/ ACX Cooling, which was a card I was also considering.
In conclusion:
Can I overclock an ASUS DirectCU II OC further
Is the EVGA GTX 760 w/ ACX Cooling better in terms of gaming performance?

Many thanks,
Phaydze

Don't buy the 680, the 770 is faster and cheaper.

You can overclock any card.

The 680 is around £280 on amazon.co.uk, whilst the GTX 770 is £340. It stretches kind of out of my budget. Is it defiantly worth it, I don't want to be paying £50 more for 10-20 more FPS. Also, what should I OC the GTX 680 to, if I plan to buy it, any suggestions?

Yes you can overclock any card, even ones that are already factory overclocked. Be sure to check out the review of your card on TechPowerUp. Then go to the over clocking section to see what they got for your card and other 680s. (Sorry I'm on mobile or I would give you the link.)

Definitely go for the 680 over the 760, its about 10% faster.

In that case no.

The 670 and 680 are basically the same card, 7% separation in speed. Check around for 670 pricing, I'm pretty sure I saw a 200 quid 670 DirectCUII on Scan.co.uk.

The Asus GTX 670 non-OC is £200 on Amazon. The EVGA/ASUS GTX 760 is £200. The ASUS GTX 680 is £280. So, which one is the best value for money. Or, should I just go all out and spend £340 on an ASUS GTX 770?

There is a performance chart on that link I listed. Check it out to see the average performance difference between your options. Price-performance Is going to be the 760, but a 770 will give you a few more FPS at a higher price level.

Phaydze :

760 is a 256bit 660ti, the 670 is better. Reason it may look better in some benchmarks is because the 700 series has a base clock of 7000Mhz on the memory, just get the 670 and overclock it yourself, since all the 700 series cards are at 7000Mhz its impossible to not get a 670 to that.

770 is another £140 for 15% performance, not even slightly worth it, especially when you consider the 770 is already overclocked (so has much less headroom).
