3DMark Time Spy
 |
Rendered at QHD or UHD resolutions and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a modern 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in today's latest games.
It will be interesting to see how far partners choose to push their RTX 3070 cards. Our logs reveal that Nvidia's Founders Edition sticks to a 220W TDP under load, resulting in a real-world boost clock of around 1,875MHz. MSI's Gaming X Trio isn't particularly adventurous, but raises board power to 240W, which on our sample translates to in-game frequency fluctuating between 1,905MHz and 1,920MHz.
There isn't a great deal in it. The Gaming X Trio will edge out the Founders Edition in most games, albeit by only a frame or two. Neither card has issues with stability, with both exceeding the 97 per cent pass mark in the stress test.
