So, I bought NOT new gpu - as mentioned above - and I have a problem with it.
I mean it's working fine and everything is alright but there is one thing: it's core clock in boost mode should be 1216Mhz and it usually has it, even above but sometimes it drops under 1200Mhz and keeps jumping.
It stays still when I don't move my character in game (e.g.. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.), but when I move it drops or goes over a boost mode (1290Mhz etc.). Those drops and jumps are not big but I am worried. :-------/

Before this card I had nVIDIA GeForce Gtx 750 Ti, it was so lame.

I wonder if this "issue" is connected with GPU boost 2.0 from nVIDIA or smth.

Is there anything I should be worried about? Is it normal?

Btw: Clock of memory stays on it's normal frequency in normal mode as well as in boost mode (7010Mhz).

Is there anything I should be worried about?

Thx, it's my first post so I have actually no clue how reddit exactly works. :---------)

Edit: I noticed that when I look at "more demanding" place in game frequency goes up when I look in "less demanding" place it goes down.

Edit2: Pls help.

If you're Graphics card is working fine, no overheating, Fps is OK and stuff there's nothing to be worried.
No value on a computer is 100% constant. There's a uncountable number of variables that make your core clock vary.
To one second to another there's a different amount of energy your GPU receive, a different demand of RAM, different demand of video memory and all of that and other stuff make your core clock, and that's completely normal.
It will get more clear if you some day start studying systems and computers, but 99% of the values you see in your computer is changing from one sec to another.
If you start looking to all values involved with GPU while gaming you're going to freak out. If your game is running nice, good FPS below...
