k|ngp|n Sets 3DMark 11 Extreme Record with EVGA Hardware

[Rob Williams]

Overclocking world records are broken so often, that normally I don't even read into what the accomplishment was when I'm sent an e-mail - it'll just be broken next week, after all. But the latest accomplishment of Vince "k|ngp|n" Lucido isn't just impressive because of the overclock, but because of the unbelievable amount of high-end hardware being used.

Read the rest of our post and then discuss it here!

I own those video cards......but they are liquid cooled, not ln2 cooled.

 

[Rob Williams]

Yeah, liquid is one thing, but LN2 requires way too much maintenance ;-)

 

[Kayden]

oh god yes, it evaporates completely in like 15 min. I would hate to have that LN2 bill.

Whooaa! Now thats pretty hardcore!

 

[Optix]

Yay! Now strangers on teh Interwebz will think I'm cool!

I can't blame him though. If I had access to that stuff and time to do it, I'd likely have a mad laboratory too.

Really? Five 1200w power supplies?? Not sure that says good things about EVGA power supplies...

Seriously... it's a setup like that where 3DMark 11 would run completely smooth (kind of like how SLI or CrossFireX today will make 3DMark Vantage smooth for the most part).
