Both K|NGP|N and elmor are apparently taking their own GTX 980 graphics cards for an overclocking spin and have broken 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme score records by scoring 9415 and 9568 marks.

Earlier, K|NGP|N managed to get its own EVGA GTX 980 up to a rather stunning 1967MHz for the GPU base and 2056MHz for the GPU Boost clock while memory was overclocked to 2153MHz. This was enough for him to score 9415 marks in Futuremark's 3DMark Fire Strike Extreme benchmark. K|NGP|N was running on EVGA X99 motherboard and Intel Xeon E5-1660 CPU overclocked to 5260.43MHz. Of course, all of this was done with a healthy quantity of LN2.




Just a few hours later, on the same day, elmor has taken its own ASUS Nvidia GTX 980 DirectCU II graphics for a decent run under LN2 and while running Intel Core i7-5960X Haswell-E CPU, overclocked to 5586MHz on ASUS Rampage V Extreme motherboard managed to push that same graphics card up to 2069MHz for the GPU base and 2170MHz for the GPU Boost clock while memory was overclocked to 2098MHz. This was enough to beat K|NGP|N's 9415 marks score in the same benchmark and raise it to 9568 marks at the time of writing this post.






Both guys are apparently still running their rigs and hopefully we will see some even higher scores. Nvidia GTX 980 is definitely a "decent" overclocker and last we heard, K|NGP|N is closing in on 2.2GHz on its EVGA GTX 980 Classified.
