If you can overclock it to those speeds you see other cards go to and it works you should be fine. GPU boost is simple auto overclock. If it doesn't work we have a problem, you paid for a product that's worse than other identical products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 30, 2020 You can't RMA a card for low boost clocks as far as I'm aware. Boost clocks aren't guaranteed, though everyone takes them for granted. This seems like a software issue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 30, 2020 You ran the OC Scanner in Afterburner? That's the first thing anyone with an Ampere card should do before thinking they got a dud.

This is a stupid reply. I game at 1080p and I have no issue maxing out my 3090 to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
