Renowned overclocker Splave has achieved a world record by pushing the Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 to an incredible 4,005 MHz. This is the first time a GPU has ever hit the 4 GHz mark, and it is truly an extraordinary achievement that pushes the boundaries of GPU performance.
Splave, who has been overclocking graphics cards for many years, is particularly thrilled by this record-breaking feat. GPUs rarely reach clock speeds above 4 GHz, so this accomplishment is truly remarkable. Splave had previously attempted to overclock the Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 to 3,945 MHz but fell just short at 3,910 MHz. However, on his second attempt, he substituted the original liquid cooling system with a specialized LN2 cooling system and made adjustments using BIOS configurations and overclocking software. These efforts led to the record-breaking overclock of 4,005 MHz.
Splave believes that this record will be surpassed in the near future, stating, "I'm sure someone else will take it higher. It's just a matter of time." Achieving a GPU overclock of 4,005 MHz is an incredible feat that pushes the boundaries of what we thought was possible in GPU performance.
The Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090
The Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090 is a high-performance graphics card that features a cherry-picked GPU and a voltage regulating module capable of delivering up to 600W of clean power to the processor. This is why Splave was able to use liquid nitrogen to cool the GPU, a common practice in extreme overclocking.
Splave successfully passed the GPUPi 32B 3.3 test at 4,005 MHz and the GPUPi 1B 3.3 test at 4,020 MHz. GPUPi is not a graphics program, but it utilizes the CUDA cores in graphics cards to calculate the value of Pi to billions of decimal places.
Breaking the 4 GHz barrier on a GPU is no easy task, and Splave explains that it requires the right equipment and a lot of experience. He says, "With the right equipment and a lot of experience, it's possible to achieve these clock speeds, but it takes a lot of time."
The Nvidia AD102 GPU, designed for high clocks, features a relaxed transistor density and high-performance libraries. Clocking 76.3 billion transistors at 4 GHz is a truly unexpected achievement, and we are eagerly anticipating what other overclockers will be able to accomplish with the upcoming Asus ROG Matrix GeForce RTX 4090.
As the tech landscape continues to evolve, staying on the cutting edge of GPU technology is essential for enthusiasts and gamers alike. Asus believes that its new RTX 4090 will become the go-to choice for those seeking the best graphical performance, and Splave's record-breaking overclock showcases the power and capabilities of the Nvidia AD102 GPU.
