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.

Beginning our testing of the dual-BIOS functionality of the Nitro+, we can see the Performance BIOS averaged 2348MHz across our 30 minute stress test. This means it ran about 175MHz faster than the reference card, and almost 50MHz faster than the PowerColor Red Devil OC BIOS, which explains why we saw a small performance lead for the Nitro+ in certain titles.

Even the Silent BIOS ran just 20MHz slower than the Red Devil's OC BIOS, making it over 100MHz faster than the reference card.
