Could someone explain the boost clock philosophy to me. It seems these pascal cards boost way past their stated boost clocks.
I have the FE 1080Ti and despite throttling when it hits the 84deg thermal limit its boost clock is still ~1750 and have seen it go towards 1900 before it hits said 84deg. But the advertised boost clock is in the 1500s!
Also RIP my fingers, tried to unplug a second monitor after a long gaming session. That exhaust heated the cable plugs enough to burn

Yeah it's just under 1000 euros here too, quite a bit more expensive than my already expensive MSI Gaming X lol. Nevertheless, monster card!
Damn, 992,95 euro here and on amazondotcom it's 759.99 dollar, that's a huge difference.

Boost 3.0 = puzzlebox. Nobody really knows how it works in detail I guess
Advertised boost clocks are a minimum the card has to reach to not get the vendors sued. It's a typical boost that depends on many things, and at times it's more than a moderate statement in comparison what the card clocks to out of the box. Actual boost clocks are dependant on power draw, temperatures of the card, inside the case, etc.
