High GPU clock speed without going overclocking
High GPU clock speed without going overclocking
Hello everyone. I really need your help. I'm new at overclocking but I'm getting confused. I got a new GPU, an Asus Strix 1080 Ti OC. Can someone please explain something to me that I'm probably missing?
In this review: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/1...080-ti-oc/
They say: "Base and boost clocks are set at 1,569MHz and 1,683MHz, respectively - up from 1,481MHz and 1,582MHz on Nvidia's Founders Edition - but the 11GB GDDR5X frame buffer remains clocked at a default 11Gbps. Users wanting to turn things up another notch can install the free-to-download Asus GPU Tweak software utility and activate an OC profile that further raises boost clock to 1,708MHz and sets memory to an effective 11,100MHz."
However, my card is running at 1950MHz in gaming... why is the value I'm seeing so much higher than those in the review? I have tried messing with Asus GPU Tweak II and even if I change modes from OC to Gaming or just Silent, the core clock is still much higher than what those reviews report.

They say: "Our sample from ASUS seemed to ship with the OC Mode enabled by default (we did not install ASUS’ GPU Tweak II software to manually enable it). Operating frequencies for the OC Mode are 1595MHz Core, 1709MHz Boost, and 1389MHz (11,112MHz effective) memory. The alternative – Gaming – mode drops the boost clock to 1683MHz, according to ASUS."
Why am I seeing so much higher clock speeds without doing anything? What am I missing?
Thanks in advance for your input and help.
Try doing so, it might take off a fair amount, or if the cooler is good enough it might not. no way to know without trying as the boost speed is also different from card to card.
Turbo boost 3.0 offers automatic speed increases when the GPU is sufficiently cool and power consumption is low. This feature is integrated directly into the GPU die itself. It's convenient for gaining extra performance, but can be challenging to achieve when pushing the system beyond its limits.
Robert Cook shares his experience with Turbo boost 3.0, noting it works well when the GPU is sufficiently cool and power consumption is moderate. He mentions the feature is integrated into the GPU die itself. He finds it convenient for gaining extra speed without manual overclocking, but expresses frustration when trying to push performance further. He asks whether adjusting the temperature limit in Afterburner will significantly impact performance, especially if aiming for quieter operation under load.
