3DMark Time Spy

Rendered at a 2,560x1,440 QHD resolution and making use of DX12 technologies such as asynchronous compute, explicit multi-adapter and multi-threading, Time Spy is a forward-looking 3DMark benchmark that hints at GPU potential in various upcoming games.

A marginally higher real-world boost clock suggests that MSI's Gaming X will nudge ahead of EVGA's SC Gaming in all the benchmarks, however there's very little in it and GTX 1050 Ti remains comfortably ahead of the GTX 950/RX 470 and firmly behind GTX 1060/RX 470.

As expected, the Twin Frozr cooler has no problem maintaining consistent framerates, as evidenced by an excellent Time Spy Stress Test score of 99.7 per cent.
