Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running the 3DMark Time Spy stress test for 30 minutes. We use GPU-Z to record the GPU core frequency during the Time Spy runs. We calculate the average core frequency during the 30 minute run to present here.

With a rated game clock of 2015MHz, we saw the RX 6800 XT running closer to 2200MHz during our testing – and that is certainly not a complaint! Taken over our 30 minute stress test, the GPU recorded an average frequency of 2173MHz, almost 400MHz faster than the RX 5700 XT. It is quite remarkable how AMD has been able to increase clock speed to such an extent, while remaining on the same 7nm process.
