Breaking News in the World of Overclocking

In a shocking turn of events, the world record for the highest 3DMark Port Royal score has been shattered by user Cmaker. This incredible feat was achieved using an MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z, a limited-edition extreme graphics card priced at $5,000+ upon release. The record-breaking score of 51,663 marks is a significant improvement over the previous record, and it’s clear that Cmaker’s rig is something to behold.

Cmaker’s Extreme Rig

Cmaker’s rig is an engineering marvel, with a custom cooling block milled for the RTX 5090 and a smattering of fans surrounding the GPU and motherboard. The CPU is an Intel Core i9 14900KF, which is water-cooled, and the 32 GB of Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RAM has also been treated to a dose of liquid nitrogen cooling. The power supply is a 1,500 W Corsair unit, which is more than enough to power the entire system.

The MSI RTX 5090 32G Lightning Z is an extremely powerful graphics card, with a default clock speed of 2,775 MHz. However, Cmaker was able to push it to a top clock speed of 3,623 MHz using liquid nitrogen cooling. This is a staggering 848 MHz higher than the default speed, and it’s clear that Cmaker’s expertise in overclocking played a significant role in achieving this record-breaking score.

Comparison to Stock RTX 5090

For reference, PC Gamer’s stock RTX 5090 FE sample managed a score of 36,389 in Port Royal, while the ludicrously expensive MSI RTX 5090 Suprim SOC topped out at 38,715. It’s clear that Cmaker’s extreme rig and expertise in overclocking made all the difference in achieving this record-breaking score.

It’s worth noting that Cmaker’s rig is not the only extreme setup in the world of overclocking. There are many talented overclockers out there who are pushing the limits of what is possible with their rigs. It’s only a matter of time before someone comes along and breaks this record again, and it will be exciting to see what they come up with.

In the meantime, we can only marvel at Cmaker’s incredible achievement and the sheer power of their rig. It’s a testament to the ingenuity and expertise of overclockers and the incredible performance that can be achieved with the right hardware and knowledge.

The Future of Overclocking

As we look to the future of overclocking, it’s clear that the possibilities are endless. With the development of new hardware and the continued innovation of overclockers, it’s only a matter of time before we see even more incredible feats of engineering and performance.

For now, we can only sit back and admire Cmaker’s incredible achievement. It’s a reminder that even in the world of extreme overclocking, there is always room for improvement and innovation.
