Kingpin Sets Three New 3DMark World Records With EVGA 980 Ti Kingpin Edition

[N.Broekhuijsen]

Vince "K|NGP|N" Lucido has set three new single-card 3DMark world records using the graphics card he co-developed with EVGA, the GTX 980 Ti Kingpin Edition.

Wicked stuff right there.

When are they going to use Ghz measurements instead of Mhz? I think it sounds better to have a 2.1Ghz overclock rather than 2098Mhz... just my preference!

EDIT: For marketing purposes. Not records.

Here I am mostly happy with a graphics score of 20K on standard. I see he's using the 353.30 drivers. Any newer probably sees a drop in performance.

I wouldn't mind hearing a walk through of how he got there....

Because it's a bigger number, two thousand and ninety eight sounds so much cooler than two point 1 gigaherz. Jking.

Also, you don't round or shave numbers when it comes to records. You want marketing numbers? Don't worry, there are plenty out there.

I should have clarified that I meant in marketing terms. For world records, yes, it matters all the way down to a decimal place or two, such as 2098.21Mhz for example.

Bring on the downvotes I guess.

lol.... here I will zero you out real quick!😀

Congratulations to K|NGP|N.

There is definitely some serious skill involved in something like this but what does this mean in real world terms?

I will never own a GPU that costs as much as this one, much less use liquid nitrogen to cool something, but I still find the benchmarking and pushing of technology interesting. Beyond the cool factor, bragging rights, etc. what would this do for performance. In other words a score of 25,000 vs. 18,000 for example. Would there be any noticeable difference in anything as an end user?

I'm always curious about the extreme measures sometimes taken that seem to only yield a few FPS in real world application.

Cool stuff. It seems to me the frequency of graphics cards is going to drive performance in the future more than core count, largely because it is more economical. Why have 2000 cores at 1ghz when you can have 1000 cores at 2ghz?

 

[littleleo]

What were the old records? And how many guys use liquid Nitro for cooling that is sick, lol.

It really can only be used to benchmark. LN2 boils upon contact with a warmer object so you wouldn't be able to use it "for gaming" in our atmosphere!:lol:

The LN2 wiki-page says it boils at -195.79C or -320F so pretty much anything it touches causes it to boil.

Edit: to clear up the relative boiling point in our atmosphere.

 

[littleleo]

Don't they use that to kill warts, lol. I remember in college they uses to dip stuff in it like balloons then take them out and set them in the sun and watch them explode.

 

[knowom]

I only care about air cooled overclocking records liquid nitrogen just isn't practical by any means.

2000 cores at 1GHz works on air/water cooling, 1000 cores at 2GHz does not 😛

More economical for Nvidia, maybe, but not for the guy buying a new case of liquid nitrogen every time he loads up Battlefield 4. Sure, it's not THAT expensive, but it adds up when you're doing it often. The best alternative is probably phase-change cooling, but that's expensive to begin with.
