MSI N260GTX Lightning Strikes 1.1 GHz Core Clock Speed Mark
It looks like MSI's beating the drums about military-grade superiority of its N260GTX Lightning over its competitors has finally come to bear some fruit. Renowned enthusiast hipro5 from Greece set a new GPU core clock-speed record for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, with a stress-stable 1100 MHz, with its shader domain clocked at 2205 MHz. Aided with an Intel Core i7 975 XE clocked at 5.57 GHz (HTT disabled, 4 GB DDR3 memory clocked at 2064 MHz DDR), the bench stood Aquamark with scores of 392,063 points (GPU score: 71,955, CPU: 40,070). The score validation can be found here The memory of the graphics card remained at its stock frequency of 999 MHz. The same bench at slightly lower speeds of 1070/2205/999 MHz (core/shader/memory), ran 3DMark03 stable, scoring 73461 points. The stock cooler of the N260GTX however, was excluded from this feat. The HWBot record reveals that the graphics card was cooled using a liquid-nitrogen (LN2) cooler.

Dang, thats a crazy good OC. Probably required tons of LN2 to keep that thing cool.

I was believing 1100mhz core speed was being achieved on the stock cooler up until the last sentence...

Yeah that kind of ruined the incredibleness of the overclock. While impressive nonetheless its on LN2

Wow looks like a 90+% overclock on VGA, very impressive.
Lol at the HWbot statistic: http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=874548 That VGA is a lone dot on the right side @AltecV1 That Lightning is a special overclock card with onboard vmod and voltage check point, check their website: http://event.msi.com/vga/N260GTX_Lightning/index.html |

i cant wait for 40nm gpus!they are going to real oc-ers
but when companies start to release stuff like that,then it shows that there is no new tech on the gpu market,so they try to different them selfs with those Hyper OC cards!and that is just sad

The card had not just 1, not 2, nor 3 mods but 7 different soldered mods done on it for this bench.

You actually thought this 1.1GHz was stock?

No big deal...
You can get ati's running at 1GHz out of the store on air... Can that beat one 1GHz HD4890??

The memory stayed at 999 MHz. Does it need vMEM mods?

The reason why more is not always faster is because of the architectural differences between the two core's. Hell I'd venture to say that this 260 is faster than a 4870X2 at stock. Anyway an example would be that a GTX260 is faster than a 4870 despite the difference in clock speed 575 versus the 4870's 750mhz. |

you cant go 1:1 based on clocks only. You still stuck in the 90s?
