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.

When testing both AIB cards, we can clearly see a clock speed advantage for the Aorus Elite, given it ran at just under 2900MHz, whereas the Palit Infinity 3 couldn't even hit 2800MHz. Both GPU's frequency plots are almost completely flat, which usually indicates they are not power limited – perhaps voltage limited instead.

For confirmation, averaged over the thirty minute stress test, the Aorus Elite hit 2895MHz, compared to 2752MHz for the reference-clocked Infinity 3. It sounds a lot on paper, but that sort of difference usually only equates to a handful of fps in the real world!
