Nvidia RTX 2060 Founders Edition 6GB Review

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 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.

As a reminder, the RTX 2060 Founders Edition is a reference clocked card – unlike the other 20-series card, the Founders does not come factory overclocked. Even so, we saw GPU Boost raise the core frequency well beyond the rated 1680MHz boost clock – in fact, the average operating frequency was exactly 150MHz faster than that.

That's all completely automatic behaviour, too, so I would expect there to be plenty of heavily factory overclocked partner cards available – the headroom is definitely there. We will also look at manual overclocking later in the review.
