Do I have a magic GPU!?

[mikestrong88]

Currently running the RTX 2060 Super Windforce OC by Gigabyte and the listing states 1680mhz @ boost , but in MSI afterburner I am getting 1980 mhz in game and I have seen it as high as 1990mhz .Do i have some golden magic card? Or am I reading it totally wrong?

There is an applied boost that comes with nvidea cards 

That's normal lol

Modern GPUs, both AMD and Nvidia, boost much higher than rated speeds. This is pretty normal. I'd be surprised if your card couldn't hit 1700-1800 by itself with ease.

If you overclock, 2GHz should be easy for all cards that dont suck (e.g. crappy coolers and more). 2.2 is top of the bin so you could expect the better cards to do 2.1

That makes sense. I thought for a moment I had some magic card that was way over the rated amount

Even my blower model 2080 can hit 2Ghz, albeit with not insignificant noise.

I am still pretty new to the PC world, so looks like I have a lot to learn!

To be fair, how they define modern clock rates is insanely confusing as they are more about minimums than maximums.

I guess that is a good place to be. Rather than "theoretical maximums" you see on other stuff, that is totally unachievable in the real world

It would be, if all manufacturers were comparable.  But then we have CPUs where the values may or may not be maximums or averages or something in-between.
