There is a problem with the Intel Arc A770 LE Graphics Clock

[addelucas123]

Good night

I'm David, I want to say several things, On the official website of Intel Arc A770 LE 16GB in terms of specifications, it shows me 2100 MHz in terms of graphics clock. Okay, it turns out that it doesn't show me that clock speed. brand 2350 and 2400 MHz, And on top of that with a power limit of the GPU core 190 that reaches 2350 and 2400 MHz that came from the factory, You must correct it with an update, When playing the game Cyberpunk 2077 that I have been While playing, it reads 2350 and 2400 MHz. It turns out that if I lower the power limit of the GPU core to 160, it reaches 2100 and 1150 MHz. You must correct that very important thing, because I don't understand if the power limit issue came from the factory. power of the GPU core 190 and on top of that when playing it goes to more than 2100 MHz, that is, 2350 and 2400 MHz, which in the specifications marks 2100 MHz and must be with a power limit of the GPU core 160, that you must correct how much Before, please review and investigate what it is and what I can do or if it will be corrected in the future, etc.

Hello Addelucas123,

Thank you for posting in our communities.

I will raise our concern with the management so they can further investigate the concern that we have, and then I will post the response on this thread once it is available.

Have a fantastic day, and thank you very much for your patience and understanding!

Best regards,

Well your thinking is absolutly wrong intel says 2100Mhz is the Base clock and all above that is an Boost clock. Like on intel or AMD Cpu`s. there is Nothing wrong with that. And there is nothing to be Corrected.

For Cyberpunk your clock of 2350-2400 is normal @ 190w Powerlimit (stock). If it reaches 190w it clocks down from its max stcok turbo clock of 2400 to 2350 to keep the gpu within that 190w Powerlimit.

Hello Addelucas123,

We would like to inform you that we've checked your concern, and just like user Freakezoit said, there is no issue with the product here.

The 2100 MHz clock is just the average clock a user may see in a typical gaming workload. The card can still boost the clock when there is thermal headroom, and this is as per design.

It is only when the 225W limit is used or surpassed that the clock speed can go above 2400 MHz. I invite you to watch the video about arc clocks and overclocking: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC9dXR9eYj8. 

Thank you, and have a great day ahead!

Good afternoon

I understand what you mean, but I also don't know if you explained it well or not. I wanted to know, is a GPU clock that exceeds or is at 2400 MHz mandatory? That's for starters, because you should keep in mind that the higher the GPU clock, the higher the temperature. Do you have that in mind? Because if you have it in mind, I see 2400MHz as absurd because it's not going to be better performance than the RTX 3060 or RTX 3060 Ti, it surpasses If you release drivers, etc., but because it exceeds 2400 MHz I doubt it. What is that speed, then improve the fan curves, optimize, 77 and 78 degrees Celsius, you see it as normal but running at 2100 RPM, At least it should be running at 2200 to 2300 RPM, So the 2400 MHz that comes from the factory is called overclock. I think that running from 2000 to 2150 MHz with a peak of 2200 MHz, I see it well, that people want to overclock ahead but the temperature will be higher, I think that's what it comes with. What you are doing is not the right thing, something will have to be done, even if I reached 77 and 78 degrees playing for 4 and a half hours, 77 to 78 degrees I see it quite high, which is why 2400 Mhz is because if we lowered it to 2100 more or less it would reach 70 to 73 degrees improving gpu clock and fan, because 2400 MHz is absurd it will not achieve greater performance etc, to improve performance it is drivers to improve performance, stability etc, but increasing 2400 MHz I see as absurd, I don't know if you realize it or not, what do you prefer? 2400MHz is worth improving curves when it reaches 75 degrees 2210 with a peak of 2310, so that it tries to lower between 3 and 5 degrees, even if it is 77 and 78 degrees for 4 and a half hours working at 2400 MHz I see it absurd, something will have to be found for a solution or what is expected etc

There ist nothing wrong with the behaviour of the ARC GPU, so nothing will be fixed, because there is no problem, end of story.

Hello @addelucas123 

Your main concerns are about the GPU clock speed and temperature right? In other words have the GPU running at lower temperatures with quieter fans while yielding better performance than the competition.

Allow me to define some facts first:

1. The 2400Mhz is a factory boost speed and it is within Intel's specifications so it won't have any negative impact on the card.
2. The 77-78 degrees of operational temperature are well below the 90 degree maximum temperature as defined by Intel's own specifications for the GPU.
3. The operational temperature of a GPU can fluctuate depending on multiple factors such as clock speed, room temperature, workload (not just the games running at the moment but also overall system demand), power input, individual silicon efficiency, etc.

Intel continues to push drivers to optimize the performance of the GPU but as long as it is below 90 degrees then it won't be considered a problem. 

Given the information discussed so far we conclude there is no issue here.
