Nothing else is heating up. Usage, power limit, temps (gpu core only) & voltage (gpu core only) will affect the clock.

So if the temps are identical what would be your guess on the clock behavior difference? 

What is the power usage you are seeing between the two?  I guess one might ask, what is your purpose other than curiosity? There are ways, using the voltage curve, for example, to pretty much lock your GPU to a particular clock and voltage under a full 3D load.   Generally though, games are not going to load the GPU exactly the same. A game that is primarily single threaded my show a lower GPU power usage and higher clocks versus a game that is multi threaded and load the GPU to 99% and you drop clocks due to power draw or Vrel.

Boost Clock is tied to temperature....so keep that GPU as cool as posible and boost clocks will be higher.

Boost Clock is tied to temperature....so keep that GPU as cool as posible and boost clocks will be higher.

That was my understanding as well, but as you see in my OP I state that the temps are identical. I played each game for 30 minutes just now to let the heat soak and I looked at the performance monitor which I have linked below. the difference in color is HDR, which RDR2 supports and Hunt does not. 
            
 RDR2                                                                                                                 Hunt

 

Okay.. but see this matches up with exactly how I explained this.  Where your CPU utilization is higher, your GPU clocks are lower.
Another thing, I'm pretty sure you intentionally picked spots for both games that would reflect similar numbers. All that shows is that you can show similar numbers with a static scene. 
What you should be looking at is the average performance as the games are running.  Showing peak of 99% for a basically a static scene, does not mean that reflects both games have the exact same power usage all the time. We know they do not. 
 
 
Also, temps do make a difference beyond starting at 39C for the first temp bin or drop of ~13mhz.
 
 

 
You're right in the area where just a degree or two is going to make your clocks fluctuate by +-25mhz. This is what I have  in comparison

I am not sure exactly what you are saying. I didn't see any explanation in detail about CPU affecting boost clock. I did you see you asked about power, and I thought the pics might help you see. You also said games will load differently in the CPU. So The idea that CPU usage could play a factor is news to me and why I am here asking how it works. Can you elaborate how and when CPU usage effects boost clock behavior? Also how do I save a graph like that so I can post it?
 
I did not choose any scene to be specific. Like the OP states RDR2 stays at 1949mhz and HUNT goes all over the place and tends to stay closer to 1885. The temps don't go higher than 71c in either game. I have the full screen shots if you'd like and I could also stream for you on discord or whatever. As far as the area where a degree would make a difference, I'm confused by that because the lower temp has the lower clock?
 
Side note: that hybrid keeps it at 45c, damn that's nice.  

If one tends to 'go all over the place' and the other is relatively stable, then you DID chose scenes so that the numbers were almost exactly the same. It cannot bet otherwise.
 
Indeed you're not going to see a detailed explanation of how CPU utilization affects GPU utilization. Why? If that basic concept is confusing to you, the details would be a waste of both of our time.
And seriously, this is NOT the forum for paragraphs of MSEE jargon etc ( I are one). Also GPU and CPU utilization combined with GPU  Boost 3.0 can give you odd results that don't reflect what you'd think would be the performance.
Though I find it hard to believe that as long as you have been around, you're not aware that that how a game utilizes the CPU affects GPU utilization. Who does not know that Crysis for example, being SINGLE THREADED,  is limiting FPS vice GPU rendering power?  You can take a screen shot with the AB HW window open using the Snip tool.

Oh Bud, thanks for being standard. Enjoy your forums o/

What did you expect?   "I am not sure exactly what you are saying. I didn't see any explanation in detail about CPU affecting boost clock."
It is like you completely ignore what I posted. Started arguing about what I was posting, then asked for details.  Thanks for being such a nice guy when someone is taking their own time to help you. The world needs more argumentative folks like you. Have a nice life.

MNFirstBlood
Indeed it does. People seeking knowledge and asking questions rather than assuming they know it all. If not understanding what you were saying and asking for more detail is argumentitve than you and me have different definitions of that word. Anyways you offered no suggestions on where to find information or where the proper place for this type of question would be. After you said this isnt the right place. So I also think your defination of help is quite different than mine as well. Thank you for the "help" though.

Your replies were to ARGUE and question what I posted as if it was utterly wrong and made no sense.
"I am not sure exactly what you are saying. I didn't see any explanation in detail about CPU affecting boost clock." You go from saying you don't under stand the basics of how CPU loading can affect GPU performance to a COMPLAINT I did not PROVIDE you with a DETAILES ABOUT HOW THIS ALL WORKS. That literally makes no sense to a mature thinking adult. You then further complain I don't provide you with LINKS. You're on the internet, you can visit Nvidia.com and read white papers on how this all works for days. You can, for FREE, join the Nvidia Developer program and get all sorts of information and cool stuff FOR FREE. You're not paying me,  I don't work for FREE. Going from "what are the basics to WHERE IS MY DETAILED EXPLANATION OF HOW EVERY THING WORKS is silly. This is a fact everyone can read. Thanks again for another round of passive aggressive insults and the opportunity to hopefully guide you to more productive discussions....with others.

MNFirstBlood
Where do I ask for the basics?

The CPU is the boss.  The game runs on the CPU.  The CPU gives the GPU data to work with.  The CPU load and how well the game utilizes the CPU can have a huge affect on GPU performance (FPS, load, power, temperature, etcetera) and how consistently the GPU has work to do (fluctuations in GPU performance).
 
That is basic.
 
 
Additionally, what Data1987 said is not accurate.  GPU boost is based on WAY MORE than just temperature.

Where do I ask for the basics? If you don't work for free then don't reply in a forum where someone is asking a question that may require a more detailed response. I mean if you say you are helping but get mad that your basic help didn't actually provide any clarity, you seem a bit sensitive if I must say. I never asked about cpu and gpu basics. I asked how cpu usage effects boost clocks. I still don't see how me not understanding your explanation is an argument but that is why you are now calling me passive aggressive. So I replied thank you for being standard. Because this is actually the most standard forum response out there. You can see so many similar threads by people asking questions and so called people like you "helping", then getting mad because someone asked for more detail. I mean clarity in itself is more detail correct? So either you do not know or you don't want to help. In either case then don't reply. Super easy. As far as everyone can see, okay. I'm sure they are amused just like they would be with any other forum thread that has gone awry.

I mean really?? If you say hey the reason it's different is because CPU loads, Temps, and VLL, and some single core apps and some multi threaded apps. That is supposed to provide me with an understanding?Sorry my guy, you were no help then got mad.

Son, you're projecting your frustration in not understanding what is being posted (your own words) and I'd say this screeching attacking my character is a personal attack. Mad? I don't care about you at all... let me revise that, I didn't, now I dislike you for obvious reasons. Grow up.

standard so very standard. Your character is under attack? You are mighty sensitive bud. Grow up? I cannot even say I don't understand what you are saying without you getting all up in my face. Discussions are what grown up's have. Not someone like you belittling a person because you think they should know something that you say is so simple. You have insulted me several times and I have not even cared to acknowledge it and yet I need to grow up? You dislike me? aww man that hurts, it really does.

Basically saying I couldn't digest information. Especially belittling because it was not even what I asked. The actual question was how it effect boost clock. Basic information about the CPU feeding the GPU and limiting the GPU usage based on the speed of the information transfer is not what was being asked. The GPU is at 99% usage at all times so that is why I didn't  know what you were saying about multi-thread and single thread effecting GPU usage because it was not the case here. More detailed information is what I was looking for obviously.

Why are you spending SO MUCH TIME time belittling someone trying to help you? What you did, when an attempt was made to explain the basics, was to argue the explanations. Let me quote you again:

I am not sure exactly what you are saying. I didn't see any explanation in detail about CPU affecting boost clock.

 
Who goes from saying the don't understand the basics of what is being said, to complaining about not being given an EXPLANATION IN DETAIL?   Perhaps starting at the end works for you. But when some says they DO NOT KNOW THE BASICS as you said as a fact, I am certainly not going to waste my time STARTING with the DETAILS ON HOW THE CPU AFFECTS BOOST CLOCK.  Again, you stated that CPU utilization  affecting GPU performance is a NEW thing to you.  Frankly I don't know why you keep replying and just embarrassing yourself further.

boring

It is... surprising someone around that long would be so... boorish. I can be testy and Craptacular at times but sheesh. 

Boost...the cooler the components the more the GPU can clock....

https://www.3dmark.com/compare/fs/24049505/fs/24049424#
 
Here is two benchmark runs performed at same temps, If you look at the results you will see that as my Boost Clock increased, it lowered my CPU clock. Both tests were run with no overclock on GPU and CPU overclocked to 4.6  The test with 26 mhz boost increase pulled 20% more power for a whooping 1.3% increase at the cost of 20% more power not temperature difference. Also the 26mhz boost on my GPU cost me 12 mhz on my CPU and yet my physics score increased 0.9% because the system balanced out better with the higher clock on GPU and lower clock of CPU.

You do seem dim. Again I never asked about how cpu affects gpu performance. I asked for clarity on your very general reply and if you can explain in more detail about how it would affect boost clock. My cpu was never in question. It was about different boost clock behaviors in seemingly very similar environments as far usage/power was concerned. Super simple really. You made it much more. You keep posting the one reply I made which is totally valid but you keep interpreting in a way that was never said. Please pull up my quote that has me asking for basic details on cpu and gpu behaviors? You make this community weaker and offer nothing of any value.

What purpose do I need? Seemed very belittling right from the jump.
 
Quote from you "Indeed you're not going to see a detailed explanation of how CPU utilization affects GPU utilization. Why? If that basic concept is confusing to you, the details would be a waste of both of our time." 
Basically saying I couldn't digest information. Especially belittling because it was not even what I asked. The actual question was how it effect boost clock. Basic information about the CPU feeding the GPU and limiting the GPU usage based on the speed of the information transfer is not what was being asked. The GPU is at 99% usage at all times so that is why I didn't  know what you were saying about multi-thread and single thread effecting GPU usage because it was not the case here. More detailed information is what I was looking for obviously. 
 
Quote from you "And seriously, this is NOT the forum for paragraphs of MSEE jargon etc ( I are one). "
Not the forum for this conversation? I have a 1080ti from EVGA and this the 1080ti from EVGA thread. Another attempt at belittling. 
 
Quote from you "Also GPU and CPU utilization combined with GPU  Boost 3.0 can give you odd results that don't reflect what you'd think would be the performance."
My favorite one. Yes that is why I am asking for clarity. You can't even make it up man. 
 
So I guess I will just go grow up now. Keep up the solid "free" help. 
 
 
 

Why are you spending SO MUCH TIME time belittling someone trying to help you? What you did, when an attempt was made to explain the basics, was to argue the explanations. Let me quote you again:

I am not sure exactly what you are saying. I didn't see any explanation in detail about CPU affecting boost clock.

 
Who goes from saying the don't understand the basics of what is being said, to complaining about not being given an EXPLANATION IN DETAIL?   Perhaps starting at the end works for you. But when some says they DO NOT KNOW THE BASICS as you said as a fact, I am certainly not going to waste my time STARTING with the DETAILS ON HOW THE CPU AFFECTS BOOST CLOCK.  Again, you stated that CPU utilization  affecting GPU performance is a NEW thing to you.  Frankly I don't know why you keep replying and just embarrassing yourself further.

boring

It is... surprising someone around that long would be so... boorish. I can be testy and Craptacular at times but sheesh. 

there's not much to discuss, the cooler the gpu the more it will boost and stay there.

your gpu is way too hot it will naturally downclock therefore.


I'm running my 1070 at 49C max and it's *never* down clocking under load from 2000 MHz.

It's that simple really.

no, I'm just saying the biggest factor is temps, and if you want to avoid downclocking the easiest way to do that is to keep the card as cool as possible, it's not rocket surgery.

"it misses 90% of why the GPU will have fluctuating clocks."

on the contrary its addressing the biggest factor of "fluctuating clocks".
