GPU Clock Speed Questions

That is the idle speeds. Fire up a game and it will clock up to (and past) the speeds you mentioned.

Hello, I just completed my first build, and I noticed something about my GPU clocks and I had some questions. So on MSI Afterburner, it is showing something like this:

This is not what the advertised base clock speed of the card it, and it also shows 0 for the voltage, which I am not sure is correct. Sometimes, it will spike the 1666 mHz/7000mHz, but it usually stays around the clocks in the picture. Is this normal, or do I have to do something to fix this? Everything (games, productivity) still works, so not sure what the problem is here.

You'll have to enable voltage control and monitoring in Afterburner settings:

Update Afterburner if you haven't already just to make sure it has support for Ampere.

Our Grace. The Feathered One. He shows us the way. His bob is majestic and shows us the path. Follow unto his guidance and His example. He knows the one true path. Our Saviour. Our Grace. Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example. The True Path of the Feathered One. ~ Dimboble-dubabob III
