EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Overclocked to over 3 GHz under LN2
Overclocking prodigy k|ngp|n has managed what some thought impossible: he pushed a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti over the 3 GHz barrier. And this was done using a modded Founder's Edition card, no less, so chances are some AIB cards will be able to achieve even better overclocks.
The massive overclock on the core was accompanied by a massive memory overclocking as well, which pushed the graphics card to over 500 GB/s of bandwidth. At the time, it isn't known whether the overclock was stable enough for benchmarking - but if it were, this would surely be the fastest consumer-grade GPU on the planet. The overclock was confirmed using TechPowerUp's own GPU-Z.

this guy promote EVGA and nothing more
I'm happy i bought me an FE now. I'll be happy to get 2Ghz under water.
Noice, it's a damn Nv lovin.
imagine this number become mainstream in years to come
Nvidia cards are a nightmare with all the safety bullshit they put on there and the locked BIOS.
Though AMD does restrict pretty hard now a days as well (Maybe not as much as Nvidia but still). Unfortunately no one wants to foot the bill for ruined cards that are hard to be proven ruined by the user (Or suffer the PR nightmare) so its easier to just limit how much voltage can be applied so they don't give up. Only option if you want try high clock now a days is basically doing what they did and heavily modifying the card.
Yea AMD has some restrictions as well but they are mostly easily bypassed without modifying the BIOS (and yes for those of you wondering you can modify the BIOS and still use the latest driver with a simple workaround). Whereas with Nvidia ever since Maxwell it's just a pain to take to the limit because like you said it's for business reasons.
In short, it was a great deal, unlike your....
