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

MSI Suprim X:

Palit GameRock OC:

Interestingly, neither card has an adjustable power limit, so we weren’t able to push the power even higher in pursuit of higher clocks. Still, for the Suprim X we were able to add 110MHz to the GPU and 1270MHz to the memory. The GameRock OC didn’t overclock quite as well, with an extra 75MHz to the GPU and 1110MHz to the memory.

This saw the Suprim X run 100MHz faster on average, hitting 2155MHz, while the GameRock OC averaged 2086MHz.

These overclocks saw performance improve by a handful of percent, between 4-7% in the games re-tested here. This is fine but nothing super exciting, as it seems the 3090 Ti has already been delivered right on the edge of its performance limits.
