Duck Hunts Down 3DMark Vantage Record
Renowned overclocker Duck set a new record 3DMark Vantage. The record was set at an event apparently conducted by Galaxy Tech. The record now stands at P75324 points. Duck used four Galaxy GeForce GTX 580 graphics cards in 4-way SLI to achieve the feat. It appears as if at least one, if not all, use an ASUS BIOS, perhaps to avail the VoltageTweak feature. Apart from the graphics cards, Duck's bench consisted of two Intel Xeon E5680 Westmere-EP 6-core/12-thread processors clocked at 5368 MHz, EVGA Classified SR-2 dual-LGA1366 motherboard, 6x 2 GB Corsair DDR3-2000 MHz CL7 memory, multiple 1200W PSUs (Corsair AX1200W + SilverStone Strider Gold SST-ST1200G), and Intel X25-M 80 GB SSD. In the cooling department, there are Duck's own JCA Water Bear Pot WB02A and K|ngp|n F1 cooling the two processors, K|ngp|n Tek9 4 and 5.0 cooling the GPUs, a custom heatsink cluster cooling the GPU VRM, and gobs of insulation.

... on another note. YAWN! I'd like to see how it handles 3DMark 11.
It is funny that people have any expectation for Galaxy.

I am duck.
I was very confident of this record from the beginning and posted it on the
web..
CPU clock seemed a bit low, however GPU clock is at 1170MHz and I thought it
was a possible score.
I felt a bit strange about the CPU-Test1 figure, but I can make the same
score again and again anytime.
I have posted the score under the same status before on the web, and nobody
ever suspected or pointed it out back then.
However, I discussed with the people engaged in SR-2 designing whom I trust,
and I found I was wrong about it.
It turned out to be a possible bug, and it was a impossible score under the
system environment. :(
Therefore this score should not be recognized as the record and I believe
the record must be recognized by a third party.
But I will not give up and will try again soon. :)

But why wouldn't you bother to change the VID on the GPU to Galaxy (or NVIDIA), instead you leave it red as an ASUS?
Seriously.... :wtf:
