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.

We mentioned at the beginning of this review that the Aorus comes with a large factory overclock, and that played out pretty much as expected during our testing. Looking at average clock speed under load, the Aorus averaged 1963MHz using its OC BIOS. This works out as a 114MHz increase over the Gaming OC, which matches up almost perfectly with the difference in rated game clocks between the two cards.

The Aorus also has a trick up its sleeve in the form of its on-board dual-BIOS, and even when switching to the Silent BIOS the GPU averaged just under 1900MHz, so that is still faster than the Gaming OC.
