Just curious about boost clock specs

[incarnate]

Are they just an average of what you can expect to see? my 970 SSC is boosting 77 mhz higher than spec (1419 mhz) not that i'm complaining lol.

 

I know with my last amd card the boost clock acted like a hard limit of sorts, it wouldn't go higher than that even though i had tons of headroom, does GPU boost 2.0 keep pushing beyond the advertised boost clock until it hits its temp target?

That tends to happen with people. GPU Boost 2.0 not only utilizes the temp target but also fan RPM, voltage, and power limits. It's not limitless by any means.

Well for me, my boost clock on my 780 is 941 MHz, it runs at 1280 MHz during gameplay.

AFAIK the boost clock is basically what it what boost up to on the current power limit? Correct me if I'm wrong.

Default base and boost clocks. These clocks are what the card will hit. 

My max observed boost clock. GPU Boost 2.0 is pretty neat but also a nuisance, due to fluctuation.

i didn't think it was limitless but definitely nice that i'm running at 1419 mhz out of the box, tends to stay there too for me so i'm happy with that

 

thanks for the answers guys!
