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.

The reason for such similar gaming performance is because all three cards clock at basically the same levels. Here you can see the performance/gaming BIOS modes and the frequency plots overlap each other for basically the entirety of our thirty-minute stress test.

In fact, averaged over the duration of our stress test, just 7MHz separates the MSI, Palit and Gigabyte models. I also tested the Silent BIOS modes, with only the Palit coming in noticeably slower than the rest – but still ahead of the Founders Edition.
