Overclocking, Noise, Heat and Power


The Duke already comes with a pretty decent overclock right out of the box. This can be seen in the performance, as it’s clocked higher than the Gigabyte model, and it runs faster; what a shock that is, right! However, we managed to push it just a little bit harder and performance soon closely matched that of the Zotac RTX 2080 Ti. It accepted +160MHz on the core clock, as well as +650MHz on the memory. This saw our 3DMark score of 26833 increase to 27402 and our graphics score of 34850 increase to 35434.

Acoustic Performance

Thanks to a zero RPM fan mode, the card is completely silent while idle. Even while overclocked, it was happy to sit with no fans spinning. This does mean higher idle temps. However, if it gets hot, the fans will kick in and take care of that in no time. The card maxed out at 70c and even overclocking didn’t increase that. However, if you want to throw acoustics out of the window for performance, you could always crank that fan up higher.

Power Consumption

Impressively, the card uses a lot less power than the Zotac model, despite the very close performance. However, the Duke was slightly more power hungry once we overclocked it. It’s fine details, but little reasons why the Zotac is another £100.
