3DMark Fire Strike
 |
3DMark is the latest version of this hugely-popular synthetic benchmark. Making use of DX11 features such as tessellation, compute shaders and multi-threading, it provides modern-day results and is available as a free download.
Both the EVGA and MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti cards are clocked to identical levels, yet it's the latter that takes an early lead in terms of synthetic 3DMark performance. The slight advantage can be attributed to higher real-world boost frequencies - our logs reveal that the EVGA managed an average of 1,709MHz while the MSI remained locked at 1,772MHz throughout these tests.
