1660 Super 7000 MHz?

SSK-99
Go to solution Solved by Mateyyy,

That's your memory clock, not core clock. It's normal for GDDR6.

Just installed MSI Afterburner for the pure purpose of having an in game overlay for FPS, temps, etc...

Don't want to overclock at all.

But whenever I launch MSI Afterburner the initial screen shows 7000 MHz as my boost clock. Is this correct? What does it actually mean? (Sorry this is my first build, only been using a couple days)

These figures correct? They shortly drop down to about 300 Mhz and 400 Mhz at idle, just want to know why it starts off so high. I am not trying to overclock anything.

Any help appreciated.
