scores set with multiple older cards.
Catzilla was next up, where a
single card running at 2,670 MHz
and 2,100 MHz managed 36,281
points at 1440p. The GPU was
backed by a Core i9-7980XE at
5,600 MHz and RAM at DDR4-
3400 CL14 in quad channel.
Lastly there was 3DMark
Superposition. With a single card
running at 2,595 MHz and 2,042
MHz on the core and memory the
overclockers managed a score
of 7,453 points running the 8K
Optimized test. Bumping the core
speed up to 2,640 MHz and the
memory down a notch to 2,050
MHz resulted in 13,073 points
in the 1080p Extreme test.
Moving onto the dual card
results, results were certainly
fewer and far between. This is not
so much a reflection of the cards
but rather the difficulty of running
SLI setups subzero (or really SLI
in general). This is an effect which
is exacerbated by performing at
an event rather than being able to
take your time alone. Given enough
time it's probable that many more
records would have fallen.
The results of the event were
3DMark Time Spy at 35,791 points with
the cores at 2,655 MHz and memory
at 2,088 MHz. 3DMark 11 also saw an
impeccable score of 66,989 points by
running the cards at 2,595 MHz and
2,100 MHz on the cores and memory.
On the CPU side of things there
was one record set, and that was
Geekbench 3. Running a Core i9-
9900K at 7,038 MHz on an ASUS ROG
MAXIMUS XI APEX motherboard
and GALAX Hall of Fame OC Lab
memory at DDR4-4758 CL14 we saw a
single-core score of 7,860 points and
a multi-core score of 55,881 points.
Overall, GALAX OC Lab is happy to
announce that they have triumphantly
broken no less than 17 world
records in the world of overclocking!
MAD Tse, the chief consultant of
GALAX OC Lab, is of the belief that
"there are always more solutions
than problems." Overclockers
face numerous unexpected issues
when overclocking under extreme
conditions, and it is necessary to
identify the root of the problems and
implement the relevant changes on
the fly. This is much more difficult
when overclocking under the
spotlight at events, so for this group
of overclockers to set a massive
number of world records at a single
event reinforces their talent and the
abilities of GALAX OC Lab hardware.
