Clock Speeds

As we said in our introduction we’re just running the Strix in balanced power mode today rather than torturing it within an inch of its silicon. It has the potential to go quickly but curiously it was 30 MHz behind the reference design in our average clock speed test. We’ll see if that shows up in the performance graphs or if it’s just a case of GPUz not quite understanding what is installed. Given how much of the GPUz is listed as unknown we’d lean towards the latter.
