Yep. Can't post my associate code, but that 3% helps more than people realize!
I bought one last time (3 weeks ago) for my sister, just a warning the cooler on this EVGA GPU is not that great at the stock config the fans (28 decibels) run at 75% speed at 73°C pulling 120-130watt according to GPU-z. EVGA only use 2 cooper pipe to disperse the heat instead of 3 like other vendors (45% fan speed and 63°C). But, after some tweaking, or I mean undervolt/OC it is pretty decent now for a summer gaming setup. By using MSI afterburner I was able to reduce the core to 956mv @ 2017Mhz w/curve editor, +1000mhz to memory, maxing out power limit 111, and temp limit to 90°C. Edited the fan curve to 60% max (20 decibels) @ 61°C. and it is very quiet now and only pulling ~95 watts. A nice 7% performance gain in performance. So, good luck, and hope you get a golden bin chip and push it to 950-1000mv @ 2100+Mhz others have posted.
Hope this helps.

Your CPU will be the bottleneck and expect 20-30% lower FPS.
