Yes, leave 500 mhz, because if it costs 500 mhz, then the video card itself chooses which frequency to choose depending on the load, if you set for example a minimum 1000 mhz, the game will not work better from this (the load on the video card will fall from the high frequency of the GPU), and the video card will try to keep 1000 mhz even with a small load, and will warm up a little more, not much of course, the only thing is if your frequency jumps a lot in medium-heavy or heavy games, in this case it is better to set a minimum threshold of 1000 or 1500, I had problems at the beginning, the video card briefly reset the frequencies from 2000 mhz to 50-100 mhz (literally for a fraction of a second) and at that moment there was a stater in the game, so at first I set the minimum threshold of 1000 mhz, but then after sorting out the problem a little, I switched the bios of the video card from productive to quiet mode, and back to productive again, and the problem is gone, the video card now holds frequencies normally and does not reset them for a short time (this applies to video cards from partners). So if there are no problems, then leave everything as it is, do not lower the timbre below 500. In my sacred 2 and half life 2 games (the frequency of 500 MHz does not fall below), yes, it falls in the game menu (there is a load of up to 5% and the video card resets the frequency to the very minimum).
