Temperatures

Temperatures are comfortably low and far from the 82°C temperature target at which the GTX 780 Ti starts reducing clocks. I think EVGA could have increased temperatures a bit in return for less fan noise.

Clock Profiles

Modern graphics cards have several clock profiles that are selected to balance power draw and performance requirements.

The following table lists the clock settings for important performance scenarios and the GPU voltage we measured. We performed the measurement on the pins of a coil or a capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.

	GPU Clock	Memory Clock	GPU Voltage (measured)
Desktop	324 MHz	162 MHz	0.89 V
Multi-Monitor	324 MHz	162 MHz	0.89 V
Blu-ray Playback	324 MHz	162 MHz	0.89 V
3D Load	1006 - 1150 MHz	1750 MHz	1.000 - 1.200 V

The card uses NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking mechanism. It will dynamically adjust clock and voltage based on render load, temperature, and other factors.

For the graph below, we recorded all GPU clock and GPU voltage combinations of our 1920x1080 resolution benchmarking suite. The plotted points are transparent, which allows them to add up to indicate more often used values. A light color means the clock/voltage combination is rarely used and a dark color means it's active a lot.
