• All games were tested at 2560×1440 (2K) and 3840x2160 (4K) resolutions.
• Image quality and graphics configurations have been mentioned for each benchmark.
• Games with PhysX were benchmarked with the settings on Low or off for fair comparisons.
• The "reference" cards are the stock configs while the "overclock" cards are factory overclocked configs provided to us by various AIB partners.

MSI GeForce GTX 1070 Ti Titanium Overclocking

Since the card is clocked at reference specifications, there's a lot of room for it to be overclocked. I pushed the core to +200 MHz beyond its stock profile and +500 MHz on the memory. The end result was the memory bandwidth boosting to 288.0 GB/s and the core boost beyond 2109 MHz under gaming load. I had the power and temp target slider maxed out in MSI AfterBurner so that meant that the GPU was under no restrictions or blocks when it came to overclocking. The clocks were stable after testing for an hour under stress load.
