So long as it's not overheating or overloading the power supply, it runs at the "boost clock".

Provided you can power and cool them adequately, faster cards are faster than slower cards.

Faster Clock = Faster Card = More FPS in games. It also means alot more heat. Cards will boost their clocks so you get more fps in games as long as the card is cool enough. Think if it as like it's overclocking itself on the go to get you the best fps to heat ratio.

The same exact GPU might have a harder time overclocking than a similar card because silicon is a lottery and not every card is equal. There are alot of different types of cards from some resellers like, SuperClock SuperSuperClock and FTW cards, Basically they are all the same Underlying GPU, the SSC cards just have an easier time overclocking themselves, well the FTW cards can overclock even easier. This is called Binning and you can Google that if you want to know more about it. But basically if the card overclocks better it's sold for more money as a FTW or Kingpin card

tldr more clock = more better, don't buy a FTW or a kingpin card, you won't have to do anything the card will manage it's clocks by itself
