Huh, I guess you can say that most recent cards performance is limited by the memory performance rather than raw shading power. |
Yeah I just checked my GTX 765m (A GTX 650 Ti), and when I overclock my core by 13% and memory by 26%, I get an average of a ~20%+ performance boost. Granted the 650 Ti is probably one of the most bandwidth starved cards out there, but it just goes to show that the average between the core and mem is genarally your performance boost overall. That is why I can never understand why so many overclocking reviews ignore the memory half the time...
It would be nice if someone tested this "Theory" on a 500 or 6000 series or older card to see if it holds true for older architectures...
