The official NVIDIA 510.60.02 driver for Linux does not have any core clock limiter.
Using the default Linux NVIDIA settings and the nvidia-smi for profiling, the core clocks on EVGA 3090 XC3 ULTRA can reach 1920 MHz when running GPU stress tests.
EVGA's website says that EVGA 3090 XC3 ULTRA can only boost to 1725 MHz.
 
Is boosting to 1920 MHz normal for the GPU?
Also, the GPU randomly crashes when boosting above 1900 MHz.

    Is 1725 MHz a good core clock for long term stability?
    Is 9751 MHz a good memory clock for stability?

    the stock clocks will always be stable , your stable boost depends on your temps
    and power target. Run a stress test like Kombustor for 25 minutes and see where your boost settles , then you have your answer

    On Linux, the default NVIDIA settings are not stable because the default NVIDIA settings allow the core clock go from 210 MHz to 2130 MHz.  Also it allows the memory clock to go from 400 MHz to 9751 MHz. There is no core clock limit by default, but there is a power limit by default (350W). Running stress tests will just increase the core clock above 1900 MHz and crash the system sometimes.
     

     
    You have to manually set the core clock limit and memory clock limit, otherwise the clock will exceed the GPU's limit. But I don't know what is the clock limit for EVGA 3090 XC3 ULTRA.
