Okay, so… picture this: GALAX’s new GeForce RTX 5090, hitting the big leagues with some otherworldly overclocking action. You know, like when something just blows your mind? Yep, that’s it. We’re talking 3.65 GHz. Nuts, right? And, um, apparently some record-smashing in 3DMark Port Royal, whatever that exactly means in the grand scheme of life.
Anyway, Team OGS — these folks are kind of like the wizards in the world of pushing tech to its limits. They grabbed the RTX 5090 D from GALAX, slapped it into a setup with an Intel Core i9-14900KF and ASUS ROG Maximus Z790 APEX Encore. Which, I gotta say, sounds like an epic battle lineup from some fantasy novel. Who names these things, seriously?
Stavros from the team shared the inside scoop. They were using something called an XOC BIOS with a wild power limit — like 2000W. Can you even imagine needing that much power? Madness. The card’s got these fancy 12V connectors, each one capable of a whopping 600W. Quick math tells us… 1200W total. But I digress.
They say the card blitzed through some GPUPI benchmark in just 39.434 seconds with this clock speed. I mean, that’s fast, right? Even the memory was cranked to 36 Gbps. No clue why these numbers stuck with me, but it’s like the tech equivalent of watching Usain Bolt run.
The bandwidth boost was insane too. From 1.792 TB/s up to 2.304 TB/s. And honestly, just thinking about these numbers makes my head spin a bit.
Props to Team OGS for forever redefining what’s possible with GPUs. What’s wild is this was just with the 5090 D. Who knows what they’ll unleash with the standard models when they can tinker freely with BIOS and PCBs?
So yeah, overclocking tech heroes, big numbers, massive potential, and still, I’m here wondering if my ancient laptop could ever dream of such feats. Imagine that.
