On this page and the next, we are going to look at how overclocking has improved game performance by overclocking. We will simply compare by apples-to-apples the default clock speed to our highest overclock as shown on the previous page.

Red Dead Redemption 2

We ran the in-game benchmark three times and reported the average of the three runs for Red Dead Redemption 2. We used 3840×2160 as the resolution and manually set all in-game settings to custom levels that approximate the “high” selections. At stock speeds, Red Dead Redemption 2 achieved an average of 40.5 frames per second. Overclocking increased performance by 15.1%, boosting the average frames per second to 46.6.

Metro Exodus

We ran the benchmark utility three times and reported the average of each of the three runs for Metro: Exodus. We used 3840×2160 as the resolution and the High default settings. The Ultra and Extreme settings were simply too much for the GeForce RTX 2080 SUPER to handle. The High settings provide a much smoother experience with the stock core clocks turning in 46.8 frames per second and overclocking yields a boost to 48.7 frames per second, a 4.1% increase.

The Division 2

We ran the in-game benchmark three times and reported the average of the three runs for The Division 2. We used 3840×2160 as the resolution and the highest possible in-game settings. The stock performance turned in an average of 43.7 frames per second while overclocking provided an average of 47 frames per second, a 7.6% increase.
