3DMark Time Spy
Rendered at a 2,560x1,440 QHD resolution and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a forward-looking 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in various upcoming games.
One would expect the Black Gaming to benchmark at around the same speed as the Palit - it is clocked in at the same speeds, after all - and that's what we see in the first benchmarks.
Shelling out extra for the XC Ultra Gaming brings a sub-five per cent gain to the table.
What is clear and obvious is that huge coolers don't need to be used on the RTX 2070; even the simpler heatsink on the Black Gaming is more than up to the task of keeping good run-to-run consistency.
