clock lock at cap shipped — verdict ON-BY-CARD

  card                 GPU-edff232c-7dbf-2bac-07fb-921a7c9eecff
  asked of             THE CARD (clocks.sm against the lock's floor and against this
                       board's own at-rest clock; utilization.gpu for whether it was
                       at rest; clocks.max.sm against the ceiling). Never the unit.
  clocks.sm min/max    1192 / 1192 MHz over 12 reads
  clocks.max.sm        3090 MHz
  utilisation max      0 % — at rest for the whole sample: yes
  lock range declared  1200,2550 MHz (ai-perf.service)
  floor · tolerance    1200 MHz · 25 MHz (the driver snaps 1200 to 1192 on this board)
  evidence             the card was AT REST for the whole sample (utilization.gpu read 0 % on all 12 reads) and clocks.sm never left the lock's floor: min 1192 MHz, max 1192 MHz, against a declared floor of 1200 MHz and the driver's 25 MHz quantization tolerance (the driver snaps 1200 to 1192 on this board, measured 2026-09-21T23:13Z). Unlocked and at rest this board reads 232 MHz or less (232 MHz at 17:30Z, 180 MHz at 18:11Z), so a resting card pinned at the floor is the lock holding it there. clocks.max.sm reads 3090 MHz, which is this board's own unlocked maximum with OR without the lock and is therefore not part of this verdict.
  unit state           active — CONTEXT ONLY, NOT EVIDENCE:
                       ai-perf.service is Type=oneshot and reads 'active (exited)' for
                       the whole uptime regardless of a later 'nvidia-smi -rgc'.
  what this means      benchbox, which produced the desktop rows this bench compares
                       against, runs no clock lock. OFF-BY-CARD means like-for-like,
                       and it is the REQUIRED verdict for the fixed and dynamic-boost
                       passes; ON-BY-CARD means the board could not clock below its
                       floor, and it is the REQUIRED verdict for the shipped pass,
                       whose whole subject is what this box does with its own lock on;
                       ON-CONSISTENT is the same confound without a proof (and has
                       never been read on this board); UNDETERMINED means neither was
                       established and no claim is made.
