I encountered a big dillema with my graphic card and gpu-z program.Either the gpu z program have miss information, or my video card is insane?I don't understand nothing. Something is not ok....I mean when i play games ,only core clock should be raised ,not bandwith and memory,right ? :confused::banghead:

I explained in ss my dillema.
I've had many video cards in the past of 20 years....but this thing is inexplicable for me.It is possible to my video card is mined without my permission through the internet?

should I be worried in the future with this card??For the moment i don't have space invaders or any bug.Video card is working properly for the moment...

Go to the sensor tab in GPU-Z for real-time readouts.
 
Don't see anything wrong in your screenshots. Looks just fine to me! :)

Just check:
1) Are games running mostly fine? No sudden or big drops of FPS?
Are benchmarks running fine?
Try some top/newer ones, such as Unigine Valley, Unigine Superposition, 3DMark (various tests), Monster Hunter Online Benchmark.

2) Let GPU-Z run for a day with NO games running nor any heavy software. Log it all to text file.

Once 24 hours pass, check the logs - is there anything unusual loading the GPU at times you did nothing?
If yes, there might be an issue.
If not, then not. :)

Please fill in full system specs!

Including CPU, RAM, HDDs/SSDs, case, PSU and so on, as well as Windows OS version too.
(including version string, such as 22H2, 21H1/etc)
 
In my knowledge when u play games,only core clock should raised automatically not bandwidth and memory speed....that.s why i am little worried

No that’s correct. When your GPU switches to a higher performance state like gaming encode or decode or really any GPU load (even from windows desktop) the GPU and memory clocks will rise. When these clocks rise they are ….. working faster and the available bandwidth increases.

The realtime clocks (on the sensor tab will change), the target 3D clocks on the first tab should never change, unless you're doing some overclocking.

@SunRise- some software is definitely changing the clock speeds on your graphics card. Any chance you have some GPU utility software installed? Maybe NVIDIA's Reflex with Boost is enabled?
 
W1zzard i don't have any 3rd party overclock program or Nvidia Relfex Boost enabled.In fact i think i am the unique man on the planet who dislike Overclock procedure.
I have never overclocked any video card in my entire life.That's why i am shocked.This version of my gpu card is already overclocked by default.Why SOMETIME raised memory to 1803Mhz without my permission?Sometime stay at default 1768 mhz,but sometime when i open GPU-Z program is automatically raised at 1803 mhz....I don 't want additional overclock because is already overclocked version....
Something is not right with my card
And btw, my model graphic card is this

GIGABYTE AORUS RTX 2080 Ti XTREME Specs

NVIDIA TU102, 1770 MHz, 4352 Cores, 272 TMUs, 88 ROPs, 11264 MB GDDR6, 1767 MHz, 352 bit

On the left, I clearly see some MSI tool running - the black window in 2nd screenshot in your original post.
I think this is MSI Afterburner?

So, it is NOT correct when you say do not use any! You clearly do use one.
And that MSI tool is likely the reason here. :)

There is nothing wrong with your card. You might want to uninstall MSI Afterburner, and check again.

Reminder -- please fill in full system specs in your forum profile.

dude ,i post ss with MSi Afterburner to show you ALL i don't overclock my graphic card, and all values is set on ZERO ,on clock and memory.In the first ss, i posted gpu-z without MSI Afterburner and in the second ss i posted with MSi ON.In the second ss after i restart windows i start msi afterburner too.What's the problem?
I installed MSi Afterburner for just ONE only setting,to force FAN speed spin to 60% permanently for better ventilation...that's it.I installed MSi Afterburner only to adjust FAN speed settings.Do u understand now?I don't use other settings in Msi Afterburner like manualy overclock or other stuff...

does it matter what system do i have?I don't think the rest of the components are important .Only culprit is video card or program gpu-s it self in this equation.

but if you are curious to know my entire system,here you are:
i7 7820x
Corsair 32GB quad ch.
Asus x299-Xe Gaming
Aorus extreme graphic card

Did you install any Gigabyte software? or maybe ASUS motherboard software? install those one-by-one, with reboots in between, to find out what's changing your memory freq. You can leave GPU-Z open, it will refresh its readouts every few seconds
 
W1zzard, gpu-z program is always running in my taskbar.I will monitorize if memory freq. is raised again automatically to 1803mhz.I don't install any gigabyte software because i don ;t like bloatware program
For me 1803 mhz on memory is a bit way too much,because is already an overclocked edition to 1768 mhz by default,that;s why i am worried.
and every extra overclocked megahertz means less life for any card that;s why i am worried.For me is enough 1768 MHZ by default,i don;t want 1803 mhz...
 
When you set your fan curve, this is done via MSI Afterburner.
Not a big expert here on the topic but I think when you did that, Afterburner also likely changes the speed of the GPU a bit when changing states, i.e. to follow the curve you wanted to set. :)

So, if you remove all changes and uninstall MSI Afterburner, I am pretty sure your GPU clocking will stop changing this way.
Worth a try! :)
 
i don t have any FAN curve set

If i cut power limit to 80 or 90% in MSI Afterburner is ok? i don t want to my card goes over 90% load in games.Is that settings?I don t care if i loose fps performance

Hi,
Windows update may have installed something for the system and you might of not noticed.
Best place to look is the apps list.

Or task manager and startup.
 
this is my start-up list.I did not receive any notification in windows update

Hi,
Nothing I would think effecting gpu memory frequency listed
The asus sonic suite 3 is a sound app

Only utorrent which would likely just effect outbound net traffic and cpu frequency unless you limit cpu usage in it's settings to 1% or so since it's a two way street with free torrent content, you receive, you also need to send bits.

Okay here yeah go
Open command prompt as administrator
Paste this command in
Code: 
wmic product get name,version
Then use ctrl+a to select all and ctrl+c to copy
Open the code feature on the editor here and simply right click and paste.

Nothing wrong here.
 
in my knowledge all values in : bandwidth and memory section should never change. Nevermind if my video card will falls....c'est la vie!
in my opinion something is not right here !!
 
OK, I checked mine, you are right, I don't have those values changing.

Some software is downclocking or overclocking those values.

Hi,
W1zzard also asked what you have installed
I posted an easy way to state that on post 18
www.techpowerup.com

Nobody can guess.

I'd bet it's your torrent.

Hardware acceleration.
 
I don t install any unwanted software in my PC. I have only windows installed and some program like: DVB Viewer,avidemux, OS is clean installed
 
Hi,
Okay bye bye nobody can help you if you refuse to post more than just drama.
Good luck.

Look up hardware acceleration.
