GPU Frequencies

In desktop/notebook GPUs, the graphics cards are tuned according to their manufacturers/Board partners, depending on which frequencies they want in their notebook/desktop GPUs.

If they want power efficiency, they want to tune the frequencies lower than normal, resulting in less power consumption and loss of performance.

If they want performance, they will either let the frequencies default or tune the frequencies a little higher for more performance. Hence, the GPU will consume more power.

The higher the clock speed, the better the GPU performance.

Synthetic Benchmark Performance

These benchmarks are measured by GPU benchmarking software like 3DMark Time Spy graphics score, 3DMark Fire strike graphics, Passmark Performance Testsuite, Port Royal, and Geekbench 6.2.

What is the Passmark Performance Test suite?

The Passmark performance test suite is a 3D benchmark designed for video cards by using the DirectX feature.

It puts a load on the GPU for various DirectX versions like DX9, DX10, DX11, and DX12 provides separate benchmark results, and gives you the average G3D mark score.

What is the 3D Mark Time Spy benchmark?

It calculates both the CPU and GPU performance by rendering on 1440p resolution using DX12 API and gives you the system’s overall score. It also ranks your overall score on the internet and your system accordingly.

Time Spy Extreme also uses DX12 API to benchmark a gaming PC to its fullest capabilities by rendering it on 4K Ultra HD resolution.

What is the 3D Mark Fire Strike benchmark?

It is a standard to test your gaming PC graphics render capability in detail and complexity which is quite taxing to the gaming hardware. It uses DirectX 11 API and renders at 1080P resolution.

Fire Strike Extreme benchmark uses 1440p as a rendering resolution for gaming PCs. It enhances all the visuals by increasing the rendering load to measure the accurate performance of extreme hardware setups.

What is the 3D Port Royal benchmark?

The 3D Port Royal benchmark measures the ray-tracing capability of a graphics card that supports Microsoft DXR. It renders the scenes at 1440p resolution.

What is the Geekbench 6 GPU benchmark?

Geekbench 6 GPU benchmarks your graphics card computing power in gaming, image processing, video editing, photography, and machine learning. It tests your GPU Open CL, metal, and Vulkan score.
