Some nice gains from this card. Pretty much closes the gap with the 1060.

7.6% overall performance increase from Reference to AIB, about what i was expecting, still a pretty low clock tho at 1340Mhz.

Apparently overclocking the memory has a huge effect on performance, i would like to see that and some more on the core, they should be pretty quick little cards these.

In the comments DesignsbyNinja (OcUK Marketing) states that he will do some overclocking and mentions TriXX 3.0.
Wattman is limiting the max voltage to 1.15V hence why most reviews cannot get higher than around 1370MHz overclocks.
The card will need about 1.2V for anything over 1400MHz.

Once overclocked, the boost clock hovers around 1360MHz, and a few slight drop offs bring the average down to 1359.8MHz. Please note, I did try to push the clock further and even added large amounts of voltage to no avail.

Always said it was the PS neo chip hamfistted in to the discrete GPU market, overclocking is abysmal.

This is what OcUK had to say:

Yep, the crimson tool is great for upping the power limit and adjusting sound levels etc. but for extra OC with this specific card, it's already been fine tuned to the max, Voltage in the crimson tool is at the max with this card so hopefully TriXX software will allow further voltage control and stable overclocking :)

Just,as computerbase.de said Wattman has low limits on the voltage you can use and you know this very well since it was mentioned earlier in this thread.
 

computerbase really are very odd people, i could go on all day about odd things they do but on this occasion they used Anno which is known to be CPU bound to test overclocking performance, and the result was very little, well DERP!

I think computerbase should be removed from reputable reviewers list and added to the clowns tray.
