Hello,
I see your GPU isn't operating at the default performance despite no overclocking. The clock speed is 1980MHz, which exceeds the standard 1830MHz, and the memory clock is running at 7000MHz, half of its normal rate. Any advice?
Yes, occt employs AVX and linpack, resulting in significant memory demands and powerful AVX operations capable of handling a synthetic load at 130% CPU capacity. This level is quite demanding and may exceed typical reasonable limits for rendering or multicore performance.
However, occt also sets a default temperature cap at 80°C, halting the test unless manually adjusted. Many users mistakenly interpret this as a crash, when in fact it's simply reaching predefined temperature thresholds.
For optimal results with temperatures, Prime95 v26.6 small FFT is recommended, or consider using a newer version with AVX disabled to achieve a full CPU workload without fluctuations. This approach provides consistent performance and the most accurate baseline outcomes.
DDR double data rate is similar to the DDR4 in your system's RAM, which is listed as 3200MHz, but it's actually just 1600MHz. Your cards memory operates at 7k Data Rate or 14k DDR, depending on how the software interprets it.
Gpu memory (Gddr5) contains four clocks: the first being the Command clock (CK), which determines the actual speed of the RAM (check GPU-Z). The write clocks are double that twice, giving the data rate.
Therefore, an RTX 2080 with a GPU-Z reading of 1750MHz (CK) effectively runs at 14k (1750x2 =3500 for write speeds, x2 =7000 for Data Rate – read + write combined).
It becomes quite confusing, but ultimately it comes down to what the software reads—double data rate versus standard rates. The display now shows DR instead of DDR, which surprised many users who thought their RAM was only at half speed.
Gpu boost3 offers an advertised clock speed that works under normal conditions. However, when temperatures and voltages are optimal, it can increase slightly more. Earlier versions had a fixed maximum boost, which stopped increasing no matter the temperature. This often resulted in disappointing performance when the GPU was only warm, but caused significant overheating during intense use. Gpu boost3 introduces a flexible boost limit, allowing the actual increase to vary based on workload intensity. It helps maintain stable temperatures, extending the GPU's life and improving overall performance, even if the gains aren't as high as anticipated.
Interesting. I have my 9700k OC'ed to 5ghz with AVX set on -2. I've noticed it consistently reports around 4.8ghz in games, even though I thought AVX shouldn't impact CPU core speed in such applications. It seems to only reduce speeds slightly in software that uses AVX, like photo and video editing tools. Any thoughts on this?
All core locked OC at 5GHz? Or merely a turbo-rated setup? The AVX feature may behave unpredictably. The processor recognizes AVX activation and adjusts accordingly, typically reducing performance by 200MHz. Many games utilize a minimal AVX usage to enhance physics capabilities in intense particle effects, such as debris from explosions or ricochets—still AVX-dependent, which causes the CPU clock speed to drop slightly. Most users with OC settings avoid fine-tuning AVX off, since it doesn’t impact their performance significantly. When an explosion occurs, you might notice a brief temperature rise of a few degrees, but not a drastic jump from 70-90°C. Stress tests like occt or Aida64 also employ AVX, which is one reason Prime95 remains popular—the setting can be turned off (usually 2), while the 9900k uses all three cores.
Yes, all cores were locked at 5ghz. I ran it at 5ghz without using AVX and didn't face any problems during long gaming sessions. It performed well on most benchmarks except OCCT. Previously, it would crash on OCCT within under 3 minutes. After adjusting settings to AVX -2, it passed OCCT. I believe I should return to 5ghz without AVX and disregard the OCCT results since I had no issues with gaming.
