PNY RTX 3060 XLR8 Gaming Review

Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running Cyberpunk 2077 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 at the average operating clock frequency of the XLR8, it becomes clear why we did see this card running a touch slower than the other RTX 3060s during our game benchmarks. It averaged 1816MHz, roughly 25MHz slower than the Palit StormX, but over 100MHz slower than the Gigabyte Gaming OC, which is the fastest RTX 3060 we have tested to-date. The differences aren't massive, and they are to be expected considering the XLR8 isn't factory overclocked, but it does explain why we saw the gaming performance results that we did.
