Renowned overclockers elmor and Kinc did the unthinkable, breaching the 1500 MHz barrier for the core (geometry domain) clock speed of GeForce GTX 580. Using ASUS EN580GTX DirectCu graphics card, the duo managed to achieve 1504 MHz core, 3008 MHz CUDA cores, and 1253 MHz (5012 MHz GDDR5 effective) memory, churning out 240.6 GB/s memory bandwidth. With this in single-card configuration, the testbed consisting of Intel Core i7-990X clocked at 6.14 GHz and 6 GB of DDR3 memory clocked at 1750 MHz, and ASUS Rampage III Extreme motherboard, the duo achieved a 3DMark Vantage score of P45819 (performance preset), setting a new record.

The bench was powered by a 1200W Antec HCP PSU, the graphics card ran with a whopping 1.62V vGPU, and 1.86V vMem, it is estimated that the graphics card drew 50A of power in itself. The CPU and graphics card were cooled using liquid nitrogen evaporators, the GPU VRM was directly air-cooled, using a high-flow fan. A number of hard volt-mods were employed to achieve those voltages.

It's good that on a forum for overclockers.co.uk, extreme overclocking using LN2 gets a rolleyes. :D

The power draw for the graphics card though... :eek:

Always good to see things being pushed to extremes.
 
lol epic, but again in a real world situation this would'nt really be ideal with LN. Impressive though and would like to see SLI with these clocks.
 
I'm guessing this about GTX580 SLi performance but on a single GTX580?

Well at those clocks it essentially is a sli'd 580gtx ;)

THough, haven't we had this thread ages ago, I wasn't sure if it was the Asus card but didn't someone post LN2 1504Mhz 580gtx results, like a month ago?

I pointed out then that people were hitting 1400Mhz + on a 480gtx so its not exactly hugely impressive.

LN2 gets a lot of rolleyes because, in generall overclockers are interested in how fast THEIR computer can run, not how fast their computer could run if they got free parts they didn't care about breaking ;)

I'd be far more interested in overclocking records and events that focus on 24/7 running, which I guess would include watercooling, at voltages that won't kill the parts because it has some relevance to my computer. If the asus could run faster than any other card, meh, I might even buy one, if you have to stand in a garage in Alaska in the dead of window with the door open while holding a cup of LN2 to slowly be poured into a copper container over the gpu....... meh.
 
Asus cards always seem to do well on LN2. I think it was a Asus Matrix 5870 that first broke the 1.5Ghz core barrier.
 
Shame that record was then broken by 'old tech' 5870's (ok 4 of them but hey it was done over a year ago lol)


Our good buddy Sampsa and his companion Stummerwinter came, saw and conquered. The set a new world record for 3DMark vantage (performance mode) which is now set at P47002 !

In order to do so they of course had vanilla picked samples of everything including a Intel Core i7 975 Extreme Edition, four ASUS ATI Radeon HD 5870 in CrossFireX mode, 6 GB of Corsair Dominator GTX2, and the unreleased ASUS Rampage III Extreme motherboard.

Then they started overclocking with the help of liquid nitrogen, the Core i7 975 XE processor got to 5508.9 MHz (27 x 204 MHz @ 1.664V, HTT on), and the memory at 2040 MHz DDR (7-8-7-21).

To get the best scores, check this out -- four ASUS Radeon HD 5870 cards were hand-picked from a batch of 18 pieces. Core/memory speeds of 1325 MHz / 1300 MHz, were set.

They achieved a 3DMark Vantage score of P47002, with a GPU score of 53,911 points, and CPU score of 33,949.

Sorry but I just noticed the date on the article I quoted - Jan 2010 !

Explain to me please cos I'm struggling with this...

The record in Jan 2010 was 47,002 so how is a score of 45,819 over 1 year later a new vantage record???

Because its 1 vga card, not 4, if this overcklocker gona do this with 4 GTX580....oh dear
And this is 1 vga's record,not sli or whatever,and this score from 1 vga is really amazing
24/7 OC events ? lol, even F1 event, race no longer than 3h, and its becoming boring
 
Neither are a Vantage performance world record - thats currently held by quad SLI GTX480 @ 1200MHz setup at almost 70K.

EDIT: Not sure if they are official results but also some Quad SLI GTX580 @ 1100MHz clocking in at over 70K.
