You can't set static clocks with Nvidia like you can with AMD. I set the clock offset to +250, which means it can boost up to 250 Mhz over the normal boot clock. But it doesn't run at that speed all the time, only when it feels like it Under heavy load, it can run anywhere between 1266 Mhz and 1516 Mhz, depending on the type of load and current power consumption. For most algorithms, the clock will be between 1472 - 1502 MHz the majority of the time.
As an AMD user, a 250 Mhz overclock might seem like a lot. But keep in mind that Nvidia runs at much higher clocks than AMD, and Nvidia's architecture permits more overclocking headroom than AMD GPUs. In terms of aggressiveness, a 200 Mhz overclock on Nvidia is analogous to a 50 Mhz overclock on AMD. So a 250 Mhz overclock is only slightly aggressive, and most importantly, this is the configuration we are shipping Nvidia GPUs in.
