Clock SpeedsThe clock frequency of a graphics card determines the speed in connection with the graphics architecture. New manufacturing processes are making ever higher clock frequencies possible, whereby attention must also be paid to the energy consumption of the graphics card, as this also depends to a large extent on the clock frequency. |
