What’s the difference between memory clock and core clock on a GPU?
Memory Clock is the rate that computer memory (RAM) can be accessed. Core clock determines how many operations can be done in a second. A higher core clock number often benefits less because it doesn’t have anything to do with the GPU’s memory.
Additionally, higher core clocks means higher power consumption, and some GPUs will throttle when they get too hot from being on for too long because they consume more power!
You want to avoid running at high memory clocks because memories are cheaper than cores–you should always try and keep your operation per second rating low by lowering your wattage or decreasing speed with an overclock. Otherwise you’re just wasting resources without making any progress on performance whatsoever!
