I Have a Gigabyte Gtx 1050 ti, and it's base Memory Clock is set to 7 GHz (7000 mHz).
Using HWMonitor, Uningine and other benchmarking/monitoring software, i see that Graphics Memory Clock won't go higher than 3.5 GHz. Is there a problem?
(Gigabyte tunning software says Memory Clock is set to 7GHz).
 
Solution
To expand on what was said above, GDDR5 works by taking a base memory clock (command clock), doubling it (read/write clock), and then transferring data on both the rising and falling edges of that clock (effective transfer rate). Some utilities report the base memory clock (1/4 advertised memory speed), some report the doubled clock (1/2 advertised speed), some report effective transfer rate (advertised speed).
