Racing games can offer dazzling visuals when delivered at buttery-smooth framerates. Grid Autosport is a prime example and is benchmarked with maximum quality settings plus 8xMSAA at 1080p and 2xMSAA at 4K.
Owners of cards such as the GeForce GTX 680 or GTX 770 are offered a 40-50 per cent jump in performance when switching out to a quality GTX 970. Those kinds of leaps aren't visible when the average framerate hovers at around 100fps, but raising the resolution to 4K brings tangible benefits.
Asus plays the GPU boost card pretty much by the book; the Strix averaged a boost clock of 1,265MHz across the five games. The comparison EVGA, meanwhile, jumps up to 1,400MHz on a regular basis, helping explain the larger-than-expected performance delta between the two.
