It it normal for me to have only 999mhz of GPU memory? this is reported by NVIDIA Monitor. Also if a temperature for the GPU 52c and load 68c normal?

If it goes above 75c then thats to hot. And 999mhz sounds right.

Your temps are fine. Keep in mind that the card uses Double-Data Rate RAM, so the 999Mhz is just half the speed the RAM runs at. The real speed is about 1.8Ghz.
