I've seen that a few other people had this issue but never saw a definitive answer or resolution. So I recently got an MSI 980 ti that has an advertised default boost clock value of 1279. A review of the card from overclockers.com shows a screenshot from GPU-Z that the default boost clock value is indeed 1279 per spec:

However when I installed my card, I used the MSI gaming app to set the card to the OC profile, then checked it with GPU-Z. For some reason the default boost clock parameter only reads 1266 not 1279. I have a seasonic gold series 750w so I don't think its power related. Setting the card to the gaming profile and silent profile show the advertised default clock speeds in GPU-Z its only the OC profile that appears to be the problem.

Under load the clock speed will jump to high 1300s which is what I would expect, but it bothers me the default value is lower than it should be.

Does anybody have an idea of whats going on?
 


My bios version actually ends in .07

do you think that is the reason?
