It might help you get a higher boost. Or you might just be one of the unlucky ones and got a card that won't OC very well (silicon lottery and all that!). Plus the boost a card will reach obviously depends on what you are running.

Very much depends on what you are running to check your boost in the first place. If using one of the many stress testing utilities, then these push a card much harder than most games ever will. So the boost won't look as good (ie. Be as high) as say running a game (obviously not always the case). As always, pretty much luck of the draw as to how well any card will perform. The card manufacturers obviously only guarantee the speeds that they certify for their card/s. Anything else is just a bonus.
I normally have MSI afterburner running with the overlay to tell me my frequency and yes.. valley is normally well out.
