After Burner reporting higher core and mem clocks?

[Jimbo]

I have a Sapphire Nitro oc 6800XT but im confused as when i open afterburner it says core is at 2399mhz and mem at 2000mhz I thought it should be

• Core Clock: 2110MHz
• Boost Clock: 2360MHz
• Memory: 16384MB 16000MHz

I dont overclock it so what gives here? This is the card...

What does gpu-z say? (if you run something obv)

Its fine. The box specs for both the AMD and Nvidia side are numbers sort of baseline numbers. Depending on the load, thermals and power overhead, the cards will often hit slightly higher clock speed numbers no issue. Nvidia call in boost and AMD has something similar. So you seeing slightly higher core clock speed is fine and welcome if anything. For example in Kitguru's review of the card hit around the 2400Mhz mark out the box fine: Sapphire RX 6800 XT Nitro+ Review | KitGuru- Part 13 The tech works in the background keeping things in check and gives you a little bit extra performance when able too.

Memory is also fine, its just the way things get divided in MSI AB. You would x8 the 2000 Mhz to get 16000Mhz.

Ah thank you for that. Makes sense now, its not caused any problems i was just confused.

You can also use the AMD overlay in the Radeon software to monitor performance and temperatures. As said above if the temps are good then you might get higher boost clocks.
