Temperatures



Temperatures are relatively high and seem to get capped by NVIDIA's Boost 2.0 algorithm, which reduces clocks when the card exceeds 80°C. However, this happens at the cost of performance, so most custom design cards try to stay below 80°C.

Important: GPU temperature will vary depending on clock speed, voltage settings,
cooler design, and production variances. This table just serves to provide
a list of typical temperatures for similar cards determined during TPU review.


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.

The card uses NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking mechanism that 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.
