Boost Clocks
As we’ve moved away from manual overclocking to plough through all of the GPU’s that have arrived in the office helped by the excellence of the GPU Boost 3.0 technology pretty much doing this work for us meaning that all of our results are pretty much overclocked anyway. As well as looking at the peak GPU Boost we’re going to be keeping an eye on the average boost clock too. The MSI doesn’t quite pass the 2GHz barrier we saw from the ASUS Strix, but it’s darn close, and the average clock speed shows that this isn’t a one off, as the MSI is averaging around 1930MHz.
