EVGA GTX 680 Classified 4GB Smashes 2 GHz GPU Clock Barrier
EVGA's GeForce GTX 680 4GB, in the skilled hands of Vince “k|ngp|n” Lucido, smashed the 2 GHz barrier for GPU clock, setting a new clock speed world record for the GTX 680. The card achieved a GPU clock speed of 2,002 MHz, with a core voltage of 1.212V; and memory clock speed of 7.406 GHz. The card went on to score P16472 in 3DMark 11 (performance preset). The rest of the test-bench included Intel Core i7-3960X six-core processor clocked at 5.53 GHz, EVGA X79 Classified motherboard, 16 GB of quad-channel DDR3-2400 MHz G.Skill RipjawsZ memory, and EVGA NEX 1500W PSU. The GPU was cooled by k|ngp|n Tek-9 FAT 6.0 LN2 evaporator, while the CPU was cooled by k|ngp|n Dragon F1 Dark LN2 evaporator. Find the ORB page here.

That is extremely impressive. Has the 7970 breached the 2GHz barrier yet?

This is fake...
Kingpin replaced the evga precession image or after 3D load he set the 2003Mhz clock. Facts: The power graph is not show that there was any 3dmark load. I or everybody can set higher clocks in 2D which freeze in 3D. So the simply way that kingpin is chose: He ran the 3dmark with lower clock, it would was 1800-1900Mhz, and after in 2D he set 2003Mhz. This way he can tell he was the first who broke 2ghz but actually not... |

Did Galaxy not hit this already at Computex with their white PCB card?

GPU-Z shows it's on 1.845ghz, i think the test on this clocks and the 2ghz just a screen shot from freezing windows.

I'd normally not reply to this but the ignorance about extreme overclocking by the posts above is staggering. None of you have run 3DM11 at anything close to those clock speeds or in any extreme environment and for you to call KNGPIN a cheat is evidence of this. Tee sub scores are in line with the clock speeds and indeed that score is perfectly acceptable and legitimate.
If you didn't know we change clock speeds during different tests on the fly during the benchmark. This applied to 3DMark Vantage GT2 as well where you had to clock lower than in GT1. You can use keyboard short cuts for this. GPU-Z validation isn't the end all be all, it's useful but it isn't always reliable and in the desktop it indeed may be 1846 that does not mean it was that during the benchmark. He's done 1950MHz before btw

So while the 2ghz clock is impressive.... I don't believe this score will take too much... to be beaten by the HD 7970.

No you're mistaken.
HD7970 results are done with Tessellation turned off, that's why the scores are so high. With Tessellation turned on, the scores on the HD7970s are significantly lower. We all know this who take part in Extreme OC |

Who the fuck cares what kingpin does...Kingpin uses hardware mods out the wazzoo, cherry picked cards, in a special testing environment...anyone who is stupid enough to believe this has any relevance to REAL WORLD overclocking has issues.
I bet EVGA sells cards from this nonsense, I feel sorry for the sucker that falls for it. |

The amount of effort required to do and achieve this is lost to you and that's ok but don't speak ill of an overclocking milestone. Big ups to EVGA and Vince for this achievement

You mean like this? http://techreport.com/articles.x/21404/1
Nvidia and their tricks. They're a sad competitor.

![]() No. 7970 and the 680 are pretty equal when it comes to Geometry/Tesselation horse power now. AMD went to there new architecture that really boosted their power in Tesselation, while Nvidia went a different route and made the cores a bit weaker and less complex but added a shit ton of them compared to the prior gens.

These cards always boost higher than what GPUz shows on the main window.

It's not this result that is confusing, it's nVidia's boost that is..well..confusing!

so was it 2g throughout the whole run?
or did it only turbo to 2g occasionally throughout the bench? others have hit 1950 as well, so then this "2g" run wouldnt really be anything special... |
