I noticed with the new Octane benchmark that I can get better scores by overclocking my PC system in the bios. Going from "Normal" to "Performance" in the bios, raise my scores from 198 to 211 on a GTX 1080 Ti.
To verify there was actually a speed gain I tested it again on one of my own scenes. Render time dropped from 139 to 132 seconds. It was a pure rendering test, so compiling the scene was not a part of it.
Is this speed gain because of a higher CPU clock ? Anyone with similar experience?
Render boost by system overclocking. Why?

Hi Zay,
since from v3 the frame buffer has been moved to RAM and managed by CPU, it seems quite normal to me that you see a little bit of better performance with oc settings.
Obviously, you need to consider the general temperature of the system during long rendering sessions.
