Ooh, good call actually....lol. OP what is your ASIC value? Kind of pointless in most cases but it's certainly good to know. (I was certainly blessed with mine, haha, 100% baby)

Mainly run the card at stock, haha. But when I need more power for whatever reason (benchmarks and games mostly) I'll run it at 1350 on the core and 1900 on the memory, depending on the benchmark/game. I have found some benches/games prefer boosts elsewhere.

In terms of offsets, my best individually have been +123 for the core and +800 for the memory.

Best offsets for Heaven was GPU Clock Offset: +115, Mem Clock Offset: +700

while the best offsets for 3DMark11 were GPU Clock Offset: +120, Mem Clock Offset: +400

I can see a problem right off the bat, no custom fan profile that drops idle by 5-6C and load by 8-10C

Dude look at your fan speed when your gpu is at 75 degrees.

Its 49% LOLZ

Set a custom fan profile or at least raise your fan speed when your testing to like 60, 65, 70% and you will not see your card drop its boost clock.

Shouldn't the card at least work stock before I tune? That's my point.

It is working, all it is doing is it drops 13mhz at 70 degrees and another 13mhz at 80 degrees.

Its just how kepler is.

The factory fan profile is to keep the card from overheating NOT to keep it cool under your particular circumstance.

These cards are for enthusiasts and I think that its assumed that the owners will change things, like fan profiles.

If you game or bench either create a profile OR raise your fan speed to 60% (or whatever is tolerable) and leave it there.

Amen, if youre going to bench dont sit here and complain when you know that you should customize the way the card works to your specific specifications. Its running at 30% at 38*c. Hell I keep mine running at 42% at idle and Im at a cool 30*C. My boost clock goes to 1188 and Ive never seen temps over 60*. Your first card was a dud, dont make this one a dud by being lazy.
