GPU: graphics & video clocks

[Bakis]

Hi,

Im unsure what the video clock refer to.
Watching (CPUID)HWMonitor it lists:
Graphics
Memory
Video

clocks.

I have a feeling this may refer to the maximum number of screens a GPU can run. Last time I heard this referred to I was messing around with multi GPUs with my gtx275 and it only had two "clocks" iirc which only allows it to run two screens despite having, clearly, 3 outputs. This terminology was used to explain it, like 50% sure.

I would just ignore the Video clock as that isn't representing any values of importance as far as i understand. Only the core(graphics) clock and memory clock does. If you want to monitor those ingame i would suggest using MSI afterburner with rivatuner.

As for clocks, it's basically the "speed" at which you gpu is running at.

I do thats what confuse me.
My 2070 fonders ed. got 1410/1610 def/boost clock
Afterburner curve ended up close to 200mhz
HWMonitor video clock shows around 18xx mhz
HWMonitor graphics clock shows 2025 mhz under max load.

So the video clock in HWMonitor is in line with what GPU-Z and Afterburner says should be the max clock.

HWMonitor is not very good, use HWiNFO64 instead.

Video clock is the clocks that your card should be running at according to the manufactor specs. GPU clock or core clock is what the card is actually running at.

So video clock is not something you need to look at and thats why many programs don't even show it. Only thing that matters is core clock and mem clock.

Okey, thank you all for the answers

Yes you're right. I just googled it.
