Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running the 3DMark Fire Strike Ultra stress test 20 times. We use GPU-Z in tandem with the Powenetics Project to record the GPU core frequency during the Fire Strike Ultra runs – at the end, we are left with around 4300 data entries.

We calculate the average core frequency during the entire 20-run test to present here.

Even when considering that we tested with OC Mode enabled – thus raising the default clock speed by 30MHz – I was still very impressed to see this Strix 2060 operate with an average frequency of over 2GHz. Many cards can't run that fast even when manually overclocked, so ASUS has clearly delivered this RTX 2060 right at the upper limit of its frequency range, so you're getting plenty of extra performance out of the box – as we have seen throughout our games tests when comparing the Strix to the Founders Edition, this card is consistently the faster of the two.
