Boost Clocks

The ASUS Strix comes with a mild factory overclock you enable in the GPU-Tweak Software, which has benefits when the GPU Boost 3.0 technology kicks into gear. The extra cooling performance of the DirectCU cooler in comparison with the single fan nVidia effort has particular benefits in the average clock speed, where the nVidia had an average boost of 1829MHz but the Strix manages 1882MHz. That’ll definitely improve the frame rates. Even the peak boost is better with the nVidia offering 1911MHz and the ASUS giving 1936MHz. You can tell we’ve been doing this too long when we notice that the peak boost speeds of both are 3MHz behind the start dates of the two world wars. Coincidences are fun.
