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 (see the previous page) 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.
Out of the box, the Palit GameRock Premium has a rated boost clock of 1875MHz, and we saw it run at an average speed of 1927MHz during 3DMark. This puts it 35MHz ahead of the Founders Edition card, and thus explains the marginal performance increase we saw from the Palit card.
