Can someone explain this ? Clock speed 1080

[T0MMEN]

After a game of pubg, i randomly checked my msi afterburner, and then i was greeted with this wierd thing with the clockspeeds, does anyone have an explanation ?

[Godlygamer23]

You mean how the GPU is clocked up high at idle?

I think they are asking why the clock speed is fluctuating in game.

Well its gonna be based off load. That game jumps around a lot. Even more so if you let the card get that hot. Looks normal to me, given such little detail.

what do you mean that hot ? When in game the card does not go over 60c, idle temps are 44c for some reason. What info would you like ? This was checked right after a game of pubg, playing a videogame, the clockspeeds were wierd. This is a GTX 1080 JETSTREAM

Well the card down clocks a step every 3c starting at 39c. You would also need to watch gpuz live while gaming and see the loads. It would also tell you what's interfering with performance.

 

Along with pubg being a poorly optimized pos game. 

 

Bounching around 50/60 usage shows theres either something holding it back hardware wise or everything it turn down graphic wise it can generate the frames without trying and capping at some point.

Im not sure if I understand what you mean  As for the gpuz, i have no way of monitoring it while gaming. I have no second screen. I know pubg is poorly optimize, but ive never seen this happen before. Also when playing CSGO, the gpu coreclock doesnt even boost over 1607mhz, how come ?

63Cº is "That hot" to you? =0 not every one can afford waterblocks and loops.

Just run it in the background like you do ab. You would have to look up the color for the percap reason to know what it was doing then.

Its really not about afford, its about the hassel, having to change the loop, clean it. Doesnt seem worth it to me. But yeah i agree.

For fancy cards it is. That blower territory, no so much with 10 series though.

I suppose you just hurt my 1080 Ti FE feelings there haha, max loads on the late 60's used to actually make me happy compared to my old throttling TITAN X Maxwell.

Just a random question, do you think its vise to flash the card with a "high performance" bios ? Is it worth the risk ?

If you can do that let me know. Also If the card isn't performing now, what do you think another bios will do for it? Gotta find a limitation first.

True True. What do you mean if i can do it ? Has Nvidia locked the bios on the new 10series cards ?

Lol, if you found a way to do please let me know. Id very much like to get rid of gpu boost. Like I have done to every one of my cards till now.

the bios is encrypted, not necessarily locked afaik.

You just can't edit them. But you could theoretically flash them still. not sure if a tool is available or not.

The reason the frequency steps down is to save power, one of the reasons Nvidia cards use less power than AMD. You're not losing performance, not in any way you could percieve. If it bugs you, don't look at it LOL

Took some pics while I played today. 

 

The clock only changed when I was in lobby, in the plane looking at the sky or in a crappy part of the first map. I’m not overclocking though, just max power and voltage. 

 

So would need more info assuming it isn’t hardware that’s the problem. 

[Jaqen]

My understanding looking at GPU-z pics there is your card is running perfectly fine, the changes in clock speed must be load related, anytime you are in a loading screen/menu or 'looking at the sky' your graphics card is doing what a few others have stated above, its down clocking to save power. 

 

If you are using Vsync which I think you probably are just switch it off and you will see the usage become more constant as your card will be pushing as many frames as possible all the time with exception of load screens etc

His cards load seems a bit low though. Wondering what settings and res are being used and if there’s an actual hardware limitation.

Now with this card im using 1650x1050, i usually run 1080p 144hz, but my monitor is at RMA. I have a coffe lake cpu so i dont think im beeing bottlenecked.

GPUboost adjusts clocks based on many factors ; mainly power , voltage and temperature. It doesn't seem like you're limited by temps . It's more likely just a power limitation . As workload varies , power changes ,and it happens to be capped fairly strictly

you have room to spare to increase GPU dependent graphics details in the game or potentially increase your rendering resolution because you seem to be constantly using arount 55 to 65% of your GPU only...

The clockspeed variation is based on GPU load to save power...if you max out your GPU your clockspeed will stay up.

This picture is after a game of csgo, iknow, not gpu heavy. But still, why are the clockspeeds changing like that ? I dont feel fps drops in game, but its just strage to me, never seen this before.
