MSI RTX 2080 Ti Lightning Z 11GB Review – The £1500 RTX!

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 to record the GPU core frequency during the Fire Strike Ultra runs. We calculate the average core frequency during the entire 20-run test to present here.

Despite its boost clock being rated at 1770MHz, we actually saw the Lightning Z operate with an average frequency of 1923MHz – making it, in practice, 198MHz faster (11%) than the Nvidia Founders Edition

For an RTX 2080 Ti, this is mighty impressive. Even compared to the ASUS Strix 2080 Ti (not included on this chart as we have since re-tested all of our cards with the latest drivers) the MSI is almost 100MHz faster – with no manual overclocking.
