Temperatures
Temperatures are perfectly fine, but I would have wished for slightly less 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 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 | 0.88 V |
---|
Multi-Monitor | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.88 V |
---|
Blu-ray Playback | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.88 V |
---|
3D Load | 900 - 1098 MHz | 1502 MHz | 1.00 - 1.175 V |

The card uses NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking mechanism, which means 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 1920x1200 resolution benchmarking suite. The plotted points are transparent, so they can 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.
