memory clock?

[kimura1243]

hello! So i downloaded MSI Afterburner and there is a circle showing GPU Clock usage, i believe, and Memory clock. The thing is that the memory clock is jumping from 150 to 1250, is it normal? The only thing i found in the net was " Memory overclocking helps on cards with low memory bandwidth" and some overclocking talks, but i still cant understand how is it working. Is it supposed to be used on its maximum all the time? Sorry if the questions seems stupid but it's kinda bothering me. Thanks!

set your power management mode to Prefer maximum if you want it to stay consistently the same clocks.  It will likely idle at higher temps however
