Radeon RX 6900 XT Overclocked to 3321MHz, Breaks FireStrike World Record

A PowerColor Radeon RX 6900 XT (Liquid Devil or Red Devil) graphics card was overclocked to a staggering 3321 MHz by professional overclocker OGS, which went on to bag the 3DMark FireStrike world record, with a score of 37618 points on the HWBot leaderboard. It's important to note here, that the benchmark run was done with tessellation disabled—something that UL Benchmarks doesn't consider valid for its own leaderboard, but HWBot allows such benchmark runs, and so here we are. The FireStrike leaderboard has been dominated by the RX 6900 XT, as the card beats even the GeForce RTX 3090 in this test.

Minus Infinity
TheinsanegamerNNo one is forcing you to read or comment, you know. I find it interesting that such a large chip can be pushed to over 3 GHz, it was only 10 years ago that hitting a third of that number was an amazing feat, and that wasnt on a chip this large.
Sorry who are you? Did I point my comment at you? I'll comment how I like, where I like.
docnorthWell @Minus Infinity has a point, the RX 6900XT clocks with conventional cooling are much more interesting.
That's what I mean, if this was 3GHz on air, something we could actually achieve in our own PC, then yes I would take notice.

Chloe PriceProbably won't take long if it's my wild guess. The first GHz took ages to reach (GTX 680/HD 7970 GHz ed.) but after all, the speeds have increased pretty rapidly from there.
But performance increase are not linear with the massive increase of clock. And eventually we will hit the same problem that always associated with high frequency: heat.

RavenasXT or XTXH?
Only the XTXH has a clock gen that goes past 3GHz

Minus InfinityIs any actually impressed or gives a damn about these sorts of efforts that have ZERO applicability to real world use?
Obviously yes or these record boards would not exist.

RavenasMy Powercolor 6900 XTXH clocks at 2850 MHz with auto over clock. This card is a beast, and faster than my PNY 3090 that I swapped for the XTXH.
Thats awesome, I'm trying to get a Liquid Devil Ultimate, but these things sell too fast!
Might get some ice to sit on top of the radiator to see if I can break the 3Ghz. :)
