Graphics card core clock confusion

[Kazikazoo]

Im pretty new to the pc master race, ive recently gotton a zotac gtx 1050ti and ive been having a great time with it, i was thinking of overclocking it but before i did i benchmarked it in heaven and i realized some, msi after burner says my gpu went up to 1750 Mhz, while heaven says im at 1911Mhz, i checked online and most people have 1720 threw overclocking. im relaly confused, can someone help me out?

Heaven sometimes report wrong clock and that's ok

I beleive its like cpu ocing where you have a base and boost, your base is what the oc is and boost is what it boosts to? if not i believe its a multiplier so 1950 mhz will be like 2114 mhz in game

This, Heaven once reported my Radeon 7850 as running at 1750 MHz. Lols, I wish.

Does the card have a 6 pin connector?

Should use GPU-Z or something to further verify your clocks.

GPU boost 3 for the most part already brings out like a good majority of your GPU, overclocking is almost unnecessary on 10 series cards.

Ill check with cpu-z, and the zotac model doesn't use a 6-pin and gets power for the pci slot instead

Overclocking is going to be very limited then.

Just checked with cpu z and it says 1759 just like msi, thanks for the help!

Spending your power budget on memory overclock may help more than core overclocking.
