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 that we measured. We performed the measurement on the pins of a coil or a capacitor near the GPU voltage regulator.
| Core Clock | Memory Clock | GPU Voltage (measured) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Desktop | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.86 V |
| Multi-Monitor | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.86 V |
| Blu-ray Playback | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.86 V |
| 3D Load | 1085 MHz+ | 1502 MHz | 1.05 V |
