[SOLVED] 4.7GHz Shows Up As 4695MHz

[ThePCElitist]

Why does my OC show up as 4.7GHz in my BIOS but 4695MHz in-game? That's retarded. Also when I OC to 5.1GHz at 1.35V my framerate gradually fluctuates to 4.4GHz and back up in the GTAV Benchmark after the jet flies into the city and you transition to the theater. My temperatures stay around 60c at 4.7GHz and around 80c at 5.1GHz in the same benchmark. https://pcpartpicker.com/user/PCMasterBater/saved/#view=BMkq4D

My own non-OC (disregarding the enabled Asus' MCE/all-core turbo cheat!) shows (via HWMonitor) 4518 MHz instead of 4500 MHz...so I feel your pain!

(Those little discrepancies are not worth fretting over...just be glad your temps are nicely under control...!)

Because it's 4.7GHz, it's rounded to the 1st digit not 4.700GHz. The game is reporting to the 3rd digit, so shows a more accurate 4.695GHz or 4695MHz. If some software would report to a 4th digit, it might come back as 4.6945 to 4.6954GHz.

It's all the same, $1.00 or 100¢, just a different way the software reports.

Do you have all cores locked on your OC? If not, the cpu will lower OC depending on core usage, 1 core = 5.1GHz, 2 cores = 5.0GHz etc.

As far as I know they are I don't have an offset either. I ran the GTAV Benchmark at 4K Max Settings once clocked at 3.7GHz and the other 4.7GHz yet there was only about a single frame difference. Is that because of how GPU Bound 4K is or just GTAV?

Resolutions are all gpu, nothing to do with cpu. Cpu translates/processes the game code then ships it to the gpu. 4k is same as 1440p or 1080p to the cpu, it's the gpu that suffers the burden of details. If fps drops, it's cuz the gpu is not powerful enough to put that many frames up at that resolution. If fps stays the same, means the gpu is strong enough, but the cpu is capped.
