Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes. We use GPU-Z to record the GPU core frequency during gameplay. We calculate the average core frequency during the 30 minute run to present here.

We've not tested any other RTX 4060 models other than the MSI Ventus 2X, but just to give you an idea of how it stacks up, we have included the RTX 4060 Ti in the above bar graph. The RTX 4060 does clock in a touch lower overall, hitting 2640MHz over our 30 minute stress test, compared to 2745MHz for the RTX 4060 Ti.

Interestingly, the clock speed is much more dynamic with the RTX 4060 as it appears to be more power-limited. The RTX 4060 Ti is almost entirely voltage limited and would often run at a locked 2745MHz. Not so for the 4060, the frequency clearly fluctuates, dropping below 2500MHz at points, before boosting back up into the 2650MHz range.
