I ran Time Spy to compare a completely different issue, when I noticed that my GPU clock speed isn't hitting what I have it OCd to in MSI Afterburner. I have it set to 2800 MHz core clock, but when I ran Time Spy it barely, if ever, went above 2500. Even in the very beginning of the test, when it isn't hot and I can't imagine why it would be throttling. Even after the full test, i'm pretty sure it never went over 80c anyway. Anybody have any ideas why it won't go up to the full clock speed? Is there something I have to change, or is that just normal, that's the best this card can do?
Other specs it may help to know, Ryzen 9 5900X at 4.7, 32gbs of ram, the card itself is a Powercolor Red Devil. Other settings in Afterburner are core voltage at 1200mV, power limit at +20, memory clock is 2400MHz. I also have no idea why, when everything is just idle, the core clock will show as 0-50 in Afterburner, but the memory clock shows as still basically maxed, touch under 2400.
