ASUS Radeon HD 5870 Sets GPU Speed Record of 1525 MHz (core)
In an overclocking feat by XtremeSystems community members Elmor and Kinc, an ASUS EAH5870 MATRIX Radeon HD 5870 graphics card was able to achieve a mind-boggling core speed of 1525 MHz (core) from its default speed of 894 MHz, and AMD reference speed of 850 MHz. This translates into 70% over default speeds, and 79% over reference speeds. The not-so-relevant memory overclock was 1300 MHz (5.2 GHz effective), an 8.3% overclock. The card was cooled using liquid-nitrogen evaporators.
This wasn't a "hit-and-run" feat, either. The stability of the GPU at 1500 MHz was proven with a run of 3DMark Vantage, where it scored P29342 points at the performance preset. The rest of the bench comprised of an Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition six-core processor running at 4492.9 MHz, at 1.52V, also cooled by liquid nitrogen, ASUS Rampage III Extreme motherboard, 6 GB of Corsair Dominator GTX DDR3 memory, and Antec 1200W power supply. The validation for the 3DMark Vantage run where it scored P30542 can be found here.

For people wondering about fermi on LN2, still beats it at lower clock - 1.19GHz

THERE IS A 12910 difference and the Ati card has a faster clocked CPU !!!
:D:D:D Blind fa..... in denial of course.
Here is one on a GTX480 with Physx on: service.futuremark.com/compare?3dmv=2090491 Notice it gets almost 275fps in CPU Test 2.
Not to mention, look at GPU-Z, the Physx box is unchecked on the Fermi score, meaning Physx is disabled.
Do some research before making baseless claims.
I say the guy with higher clock and lower CPU scores has a fucked up CPU.
That is quite an impressive OC.
Either way, both OCs are damn impressive.
So the fact that the GTX 480 beats that tortured 5870 don't mean jack to me - I want to see real game scores or it's meaningless.
The only time it really means something in my book is when you're comparing the same chip under different clocking conditions or the same card from different manufactures ie two GTX 480s or something. That result by Shamino is only comparable to another 5870.
