**** 8PACK ACHIEVES OVER 9000 WITH AMD RADEON ****

[NathWraith]

8Pack becomes the first person in the world to break the 9000 point barrier in the Unigine Heaven benchmark DX11 using the “Xtreme” preset.

Scoring a total of 9029.14 points using three AMD Radeon R9-290X cards overclocked to 1200/1675MHz on the GPU core & memory respectively.

Previous attempts from other overclocker have landed short of the venerable 9000 point mark, with the closest score being 8947.25 points. It is safe to say that 8Pack is now worth of the “over 9000!” meme.

[ndaar]

I think he linked the 290 by accident, think its supposed to be the 290x

I ment the 'exact cards used'

 

[Marine-RX179]

Shouldn't it be the exact "MODEL" of the cards he used?

 

[paulstoke12]

nice thats a cracking score how many more world records are you going to break ian

 

[8 Pack]

I currently hold 24 WR. I have the potential to break several more but each one takes a lot of prep at this level. I am going to have a go at maybe one or two this weekend so lets see.

8Pack does not own a microwave oven. He cooks ready meals by looking at them until they overclock to the right temperature.

 

[subbytna]

Given that those GPUs can get to 1150 on air, why LN2 to get that extra 50 to get them up to 1200 on the core? Could the cards go further on LN2? I'd think so but I may be wrong.

 

[8 Pack]

The bench with three cards is CPU limited. High card mem clocks are more important than core. LN2 just makes sure temp is not a problem. I ran the cards at 10C while benching this one. Sure I could run -90 and higher clocks but often on Heaven with this config scores are worse in a multi card bench situation.
