Here we present the average clock speed for each graphics card while running Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition 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.

We're only able to share data for the RTX 4090 Founders Edition in this review so a bar chart is not particularly useful. Instead, check out the above scatter graph for a real-time plot of the card's operating clock speed and temperature. Over the 30-minute run, the Founders Edition averaged 2683MHz, boosting up initially to 2730MHz before settling down just below the 2.7GHz figure.
