GPU downclocks, doesn't seem to be a temp/voltage problem

I have a gigabyte 1060 and set the core OC to 2130, but the GPU after about 30sec in heaven goes down to 2100. My temps hover around the mid 60C, and draws at most 70% TDP.

It's a control. It allows the GPUs that can run faster with lower temps to go ahead and do so. It's quite something to watch. It adjusts clocks / voltages about every 10c or so, give or take a few degrees c.

Boost 3.0 adjusts clocks and voltages all the time as temps increase. The adjustments happen constantly. I've seen them happen with core temps as low as 15c. You can get around it somewhat by using the voltage / frequency curve to overclock the GPU.

huh that's interesting, is there a reason that that's a feature with nvidia pascal GPUs?
