Temperatures



Idle temperatures are excellent even with the fans turning off in idle. During gaming, the card also runs very cool, and is super quiet while doing so.

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 is used in those states.

GPU

Desktop203 MHz203 MHz0.675 V

Blu-ray Playback633 MHz203 MHz0.675 V
3D Load1278 - 1822 MHz1752 MHz0.800 - 1.100 V
The card uses NVIDIA's dynamic overclocking mechanism, GPU Boost 3.0. 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 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 more often.
