Weird, flat out weird.

So I decided to log my GPU stats via RoG GPU-Z while in Firestrike and I noticed it wouldn't boost (clock was 874 and not 980 MHz) which struck me as weird. I went into Witcher 3, disabled V-sync and for whatever reason I was not only getting lower temps than before, the GPU was boosting fine, the log files showed 980 MHz while ingame. Is there a settings I've missed or something since this seems very wonky to me.

Do you understand how v-sync works?

Its some issue with Firestrike and the latest drivers I've had it happen benching my 290x Lighting.

It was the same with driver 15.5 though. 15.7 gave me a score bump by about 150 points yet with both I wasn't apparently using the boost clock. Weird that gaming doesn't affect it nor does stressing with Aida64 but so far I've only noted Firestrike.
