Its momentary when you consider that graph and how much more time, by far, the speeds stay above reference.
30 minutes. 6 hours, six days.
Average all those clocks together and can you honestly say that the average would drop below advertised boost clocks at all? Of course you couldnt, because it would absolutely not. At least in this example you provided.
1) Why are you now only counting average clock speed? Follow the discussion, my post you originally quoted was in response to another poster. Maybe if you read that post it might make more since that what you are apparently arguing is not relevant.
2) Why are you still ignoring the computerbase.de results from within a case? I can't tell if you're arguing just to argue or if you're trying to set up straw men. Either way, it is irrelevant to what was the discussion at hand.

Well this bit of the discussion can perhaps be explained Its a boost clock you know? If the card finds itself without enough to do justify holding the boost clock then it'll drop off it on a momentary basis. Doesn't have to be thermally throttling to do that, simply what it is designed to do.
The graph presumably looks rather like you'd expect of something holding a ~1780 boost (once it drops back from the huge clocks it tried earlier on.).
Definitely the graphs I've seen of things thermally throttling (plenty on the main site in mobile/core M reviews!) have the whole graph trending down, including the top boost clock.
(As for the rest/what happens in cases, I've no opinion!).
Oh brother. Calm down dude... If you dont want to directly address my point by saying its irrelevant, well, thats fine.
And Im not ignoring anything. I explicitly said, "At least in this example you provided"
MEANING, that there could be other instances that show different results. I was going by the graph you posted.
Whats the problem now?

The point is that you are dumb to buy a sub par card for an inflated price when there are going to be better options for less very soon.all this talk about throttling with the FE cooler and in 1-2 months when there's ample supply of custom 1070 / 1080s, people will stop caring to bring it up
Titan X cooler throttled and people stopped talking about that once 980 Ti got released in mass
For instance, at Tom's, you can see the card throttle way down below boost clocks (at about base) but it has moments where it goes back up most likely when the card didn't need to work as hard so it could boost higher and stay at the thermal limit until the load increased again. I'd have to see if DF or someone did a video of it to check, but the pattern seems clear to me.

I would guess the fan curve have been changed for release drivers. The next driver update got a fix for the fan issue where it randomly spins up for a split second.
Anyway, my GTX1080 with high ambient and a crammed ITX case got no issues keeping high boost clocks.

Why are you suggesting that I'm upset? I'm not upset at all and I don't think anything in my post should lead to that conclusion.
Perhaps to clear it up, what exactly was your point when you first quoted me as it related to the discussion I was having with the other posters?
Just out of curiosity, but which case are you using?
do you mind running Metro last Light for 15 minutes in your case and post your MSI afterburner screen shoot? Fan speed and temperature targets are also important things to take note. That would help clarify things up because the other tests ran by other professional reviewers seem to contradict your statement.
Fair enough. Without seeing performance numbers or a video showing what is happening, you can't say for sure in this specific case, though I'm inclined to side with having some thermal issues when the card has hit its thermal limit and other sites show similar throttling (or worse) with stock fan speeds. For instance, at Tom's, you can see the card throttle way down below boost clocks (at about base) but it has moments where it goes back up most likely when the card didn't need to work as hard so it could boost higher and stay at the thermal limit until the load increased again.

Silverstone SG08B.
Sorry I dont own Metro Last Light. Could it be Witcher 3, Fallout 4, Far Cry 4, Elite or even Warhammer?
Ok, ran a ~20mins test just using Warhammer with everything maxed.
Ambient temperature in the room is 28.4C. ITX case is SG08B, the case fan was stopped. Case temperature after ~20mins was 47.6C measured with an IR over the power connector. Case on the graphics side is placed 3.5cm from the wall. Wall temperature was 36.9C after ~20mins (Reinforced concrete wall). Front of the case got 5.5cm to the wall. Case is in a corner, blowing air behind my monitor. SSD in the bottom of the case below the motherboard reads 50C. My else cool running CPU reached 72C (Almost Prime95 temperature).
So pretty much worst case scenario possible. Yet still maintained 1734Mhz boost.

Your GPU isn't running @ 100%, MAX it hit was 97% usage. Are you able to run @ 1900? OC at all? Its a $100 extra premium cooler and board so I'd expect to see you somewhere close to the 2.1ghz @ under 70c they showed off.
when I look at the performance of the gpus over the last 5-10 years. the last 3 years has been absolute crap.980Ti is a damn fine piece of hardware.
