Nvidia RTX 5080 Review: Efficiency Gains, Performance Letdown

Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running A Plague Tale: Requiem 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.

Looking now at clock speed of the Founders Edition model, it ran at a very consistent frequency during the 30-minute stress test. In fact, apart from the first thirty seconds or so, it ran almost the entire test at 2722MHz, with just a few minor spikes here and there. This is about on par, give or take 20MHz, with the RTX 4080 Super, so clock speeds are fairly consistent from Ada to Blackwell.
