OverclockersUK Higher Clock Speeds

[DatProJoe]

Hello LTT community,

 

I am looking to get the EVGA GTX 1080 FTW and I have been looking at multiple sites. I have noticed that OverclockersUK listing for the card have a higher clock speed than Scan.

I don't know if this is a typo or not but I was just seeing if of you knew?

 

Thanks Guys

Ah there's a roughly 1% difference. 

 

One could be using what EVGA claims it runs at, and the other could be using a real number it runs at in the OS. 

Scan is using EVGA's figures.

 

Maybe OCUK is using a real number pulled from the OS in a program like EVGA's precision X or MSI Afterburner.

So in other words there will be no difference and they will both work exactly the same (give or take)?

Yeah. 1% is a minor difference that could be a variance between cards.

 

It's a small enough difference it wouldn't amount to a noticeable change in performance from one to another. 

 

Enjoy your soon to be card.
