EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Overclocked to over 3 GHz under LN2

[Raevenlord]

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.

So... new benchmark records in k|ngp|n's very near future.

.....Ln2 or not ..This is pretty cool

 

[VSG]

I wouldn't say he's a prodigy lol, more like the godfather.

 

[kinjx11]

who cares!!! , it doesn't affect me or get me interested in 1080ti since i got TXP under water already


this guy promote EVGA and nothing more

what in the little information available would support this? modded card probably means custom vrm and disabled/added voltage controls. fe or custom do not make that much of a difference in this context.

Totally makes it worth £600

 

[Fluffmeister]

At least it's actually an overclockers dream.

 

[the54thvoid]

It is actually quite an achievement given the core count. But once again, those that don't really appreciate the effort or skill involved pile on the ignorance.

I'm happy i bought me an FE now. I'll be happy to get 2Ghz under water.

I hope so or he might as well have just ran two clock generators and timed that

Exactly, the vrms on his GPU were probably not loaded at all , with external beefier vrm on a stick in use in some of the pics i have seen of it.

Massively over 5 GB/s. Or 528.4 GB/s according to GPU-Z.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Only a week ago too since he set the world record at 2.5Ghz

Noice, it's a damn Nv lovin.

Voltage controls yes but no custom VRM. Xtreme Addict and someone else tried to E-power a TXP and they intially had the card stuck at 139MHz core clock be Nvidia crammed the 10 series full of safety crap. Once they tricked the safety into thinking everything is the card wasn't clocking any better than on the stock VRM.

580 GTexel/s
imagine this number become mainstream in years to come

Hell no it isn't. Clocking good != overclockers' dream

Nvidia cards are a nightmare with all the safety bullshit they put on there and the locked BIOS.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Meh.

Hes just being a fanboy trying to get a reaction out of people.

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.

 

[Fluffmeister]

Oh please, I'm just glad I didn't over pay for the Titan XP.

Lol.

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.

Such irony, I am just glad I didn't buy a GTX 970 and sell it instantly after ram gate for the same generation of cards.

True, I do wish it wasn't such a chore sometimes to push these cards as to me its boring with physical modifications.

Great card, one of the best sellers, in fact I sold it for the same money and picked up my GTX 980 Ti for cheap thanks to all those upgrading to a GTX 1080.

In short, it was a great deal, unlike your....
