I just got this gfx card and opened afterburner (note it's the OC edition). It shows my mem clock speed is only 2500 ghz, but according to the card's specs, the mem clock should be 5000 ghz. Does this mean I can raise it from 2500ghz to 5000ghz with afterburner? Or is the value automatically doubled by the memory bus bandwidth if I'm not wrong? I'm a newbie and also a peasant (you can judge from my video card). Link for vc specs: https://www.msi.com/Graphics-card/N730K-...cification. Thank you very much.

2500 MHz serves as the base clock, while the maximum boost clock reaches around 5000 MHz. Don't worry though...2500 is quite capable, you understand...no need to stress... I own an ASUS X456UQ with a 2.80 GHz Intel Core i5-6200U, a 2GB DDR3 NVIDIA GeForce GT 940MX featuring a base clock of 800 MHz and a boost clock of about 1400 MHz. Even with these settings, I can still play many modern demanding games at roughly 60 fps, just with some adjustments in the NVIDIA control panel and in-game configurations.

You might want to navigate to the Afterburner configuration... adjust the setting for "Enable low-level hardware access interface" to Kernel mode...

It seems you're wondering about the relationship between the afterburner's reported memory speed and the actual performance of the graphics card. The question is whether the card's internal speed is effectively doubled by the video card to reach the 5000 ghz mentioned in the specs.

2500 MHz serves as the base clock, while around 5000 MHz is the upper boost frequency. Don't worry though...2500 is quite capable, you understand...no need to stress...
