Hello, my graphics card is ASUS ROG Strix RX 470 OC and my question is:
First of all sry for my english but what exactly is target temperature, because i thought its the temperature that my graphics card will try to maintain at, am i right? Like in games going up in fan speed or throttle graphics clock speed if fan speed is currently at max.

In default my target temp is set to 60 degrees and max temp 90 but the temp goes 70 and higher in games - is it normal? I had max temp at 63 but changed to 68 bcz game im currently playing didnt maintain 60 fps. THX

You mean GPU Clock in GPU-Z for example?

Right now im browsing internet and clock goes from 300-600 or sometimes 300-1200 every few seconds.

Gaming: all the time at 1250 mhz
