why my memory clock is low?

[No name.]

it should be 1188mhz but it is 9500mhz. I can over clock the memory 1200mhz but shouldnt the memory be 1188mhz in default? I bought it used so are they used this to mine? if they did is that bad?

Core clocks and memory clocks are different

Also, why should it be 1188mhz? Is that the base frequency of the EVGA 3080 or what?

I know that memory clock is different but I dont know that if it needs to be 9500 or 1188. if you look at the google page at the picture, you can see that it says 1188mhz for memory clock so I thought that its not good. Im just trying to be sure that I didnt bought bad used gpu

RTX 3080 uses GDDR6X. GDDR6X uses both PAM4 signalling and is quad pumped.

 

Quad-pumped: Transmit 4 "information pieces" per cycle

PAM4 signalling: 4 states per "information piece" (i.e. 2 bits)

 

Therefore you have Effective Bandwidth = Base Clock x 4 x 2.

 

So 1188 MHz x 8 = 9504 MHz. 2 MHz discrepancy somewhere. It might not be exactly 1188.0000 MHz, or the EVGA software is doing something.

That must be a typo.

Memory clocks havent been that low since like 2005 or something.

It's not a typo. It's a case of actual memory clock vs. Effective memory clock. G6X runs at effectively 8x the rated clock speed, and 1188 is exactly 1/8 9500MHz. Techpowerup reports actual memory clock, while Nvidia does effective memory clock. If you read memory clock in GPU-Z, it will be 1188MHz

Also, more clocks is better, not worse. If you paid for 1188 and you got 9500 thats really good, but as i said, its a typo. That must be the base clock of something put into the wrong field

Edit: Maybe its the base memory clock? I dont even know if thats a thing, just guessing here

its same in every program like msi, afterburner, geforce experince etc.

thanks. I knew this for ram but not for gpu ram. Now I know that there is no problem with my memory clock
