For our manual overclocking tests, we used MSI Afterburner. Our best results are as below.

As mentioned, Gigabyte allows the Aero OC's power limit to be increased all the way to 320W, or 145% on the power slider. We did that and managed to add 180MHz to the GPU and 1520MHz to the memory.

That overclock increased real-world clock speed by a good amount, with a new average frequency of 3045MHz – the highest we've seen from the three 4070 Super cards we have tested so far.

Even then, performance gained from this overclocked ranged between 5-8% – it did outperform the JetStream OC, but not by very much in practical terms.

Power draw also rose a fair chunk with this overclock dialled in, reaching just over 250W, or a 15% increase over stock.
