Temperatures
Temperatures are great, which is of no surprise since Boost Clock 2.0 focuses on providing optimum temperatures for the card at all times.
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 measurements 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 | 0.89 V |
---|
Multi-Monitor | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.89 V |
---|
Blu-ray Playback | 324 MHz | 162 MHz | 0.89 V |
---|
3D Load | 900 - 1033 MHz | 1652 MHz | 1.030 - 1.160 V |

The card uses NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking mechanism, which means that 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 to allow 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.
