Mhz changing to quickly?

ItzUknown · February 11, 2020

Today I was playing Euro truck simulator 2 on my rtx 2060 super, and it was fine. The card had no problem of running the game. However, I realised that MSI Afterburner said that the cards speed was 480mhz and then it jumped to 1125mhz and then back to 750mhz and then 1300mhz!! Is there a problem with the game, the graphics card etc.. or is it just that the graphics card is not continuously utilized by the game?

Nothing wrong with that... it's a really old game that's not very taxing on a system. I was running Age of Empires 2 Definite Edition on my 5700XT earlier and that never rose above 400mhz and the temps remained identical to idle ones.
