GIGABYTE GA-Z77X Overclocking Results

GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H WiFi Overclocking Results

GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H WiFi Overclocking Results with 3DMark 11

The overall scores in Futuremark 3DMark 11 didn't go up to much between 3.5GHz and 4.9GHz on the GIGABYTE Z77X-UD5H WiFi, only 68 points overall. This would lead me to believe that we are severely graphics card limited at this point. The Physics score did go up significantly though. At the default clock of 3.5GHz the physics score was a paltry 9359. Every step we went up so did the physics score, all the way up to 11072! That's a jump of 1713 points!

Once again the Physics score is where we can see all of the action. The stock Physics score started out at 9380 and increase to 10915 at 4.8GHz!

The GIGABYTE Z77X-UD3H has a faster default time due to running at 3.8GHz under full load, that's 300MHz faster than the Z77X-UD5H WiFi above.
