The flagship graphics card of Nvidia Ada Lovelace architecture, RTX 4090, continues to break new records in the field of overclocking. As you may remember, we mentioned that the RTX 4090 reached 3.825GHz speeds in May. This time, an overclocking expert named Cens overclocked the card to 3.93 GHz, achieving the highest GPU clock speed ever seen.Only 70 MHz left to 4 GHz
For those who don’t know, many RTX 4090 versions already available can reach clock speeds of 2.9 to 3.0 GHz depending on the workload. At this point, let us remind you that other features of the card include 76 billion transistors, 2520MHz boost speed, 16384 CUDA cores, 128 SM, 384-bit bus and 24GB GDDR6X memory.
When we look at the current ranking, we see that the new overclocking record achieved the first place with a score of 46 seconds and 383 ms. The first five record attempts, which follow the list, were 3.840GHz, 3.810GHz, 3.780GHz and 3.810GHz, respectively.As can be seen above, there is no GPU frequency ranking for graphics cards in the HWBOT competition, so to speak. Instead, a software called GPUPI is used, which is based on OpenCL or CUDA optimizations and calculates the mathematical constant Pi in parallel. So let’s point out that GPUPI is not a graphics-intensive comparison. But still, it’s a significant achievement and the GPU community has never been closer to the 4.0 GHz barrier on graphics cards.
Let’s not forget that this experiment was done at low temperature down to -192°C and with special liquid nitrogen cooling. But the results are really exciting. At this point, we can say that new record attempts will continue with the RTX 4090.
