Where you can add FPS performance without compromising the settings you use in-game is by overclocking. MSI builds some headroom into its Gaming series cards and this one is no different. I was able to run the boost clock speed all the way up to 1410MHz using 1120mv and keep it there throughout my testing. No small feat when you look at how easily this architecture from AMD will throttle clock speeds. By building a robust power delivery system on a custom PCB using Military Class IV Super Ferrite chokes, Tantalum-filled Hi-C caps, and solid capacitors, you can set the voltage right where you need it to keep from overloading the circuitry. Delivering clean reliable power is but one part of the equation. Keeping the silicon cool is another.
