Temperatures

Temperatures are good and within the typical range of other GTX 680 cards we have tested.

GPU Temperature Comparison
	Idle	Load
POV GTX 680 TGT Ultra	40°C	74°C
KFA² GTX 680 OC	42°C	78°C
MSI GTX 680 Lightning	34°C	65°C
ASUS GTX 680 DC II	33°C	70°C
ZOTAC GTX 680 AMP	34°C	75°C
Palit GTX 680 JetStream	33°C	78°C
NVIDIA GTX 680	45°C	85°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.

	Core Clock	Memory Clock	GPU Voltage (measured)
Desktop	324 MHz	162 MHz	0.99 V
Multi-Monitor	324 MHz	162 MHz	0.99 V
Blu-ray Playback	324 MHz	162 MHz	0.99 V
3D Load	1111 - 1189 MHz	1502 MHz	1.112 - 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 voltage combinations of our benchmarking suite for the 1920x1200 resolution. The plotted points have transparency - they can add up to indicate more often used values. A light color means the clock/voltage combination is rarely used; a dark color means it's active a lot.
