Usually, when the US American overclocker Vince K|ngp|n Lucido posts an overclocking result it is something serious that is worth reporting. This time he used one NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti card and pushed the clock speeds beyond 3 GHz. Although he didn’t post any scores on HWBot or even in the Futuremark database for that matter, we’re pretty confident that we might see some very impressive scores appear rather sooner than later.


During the past few days Vince uploaded scores he achieved using an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics card. We are not sure but probably he was just checking the overclocking headroom of his new card. The system was exactly the same as last time and includes an EVGA X99 FTW K motherboard, Intel's Core i7-6950X CPU running at 5.2 GHz and 32GB of G.Skill DDR4 memory set at 3264 MHz and CL13 timings. Since the scores submitted show a lower clock speed, we expect to see more results during next days.

Checking the provided screenshot we see that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 Ti has been pushed to 2606 MHz/3024 MHz Core/Boost clocks, while the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition works at 1480 MHz/1582 MHz Core/Boost frequencies. Furthermore the memory is being driven at 1501 MHz with resulting in over 500GB/s of bandwidth. This is a massive overclock and actually the fastest any GPU has ever be clocked at. Before that 3012 MHz on a GeForce GTX 1060 were the benchmark.

A few days ago EVGA has shown a little teaser revealing three new custom models. The new series include the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti FTW3, the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC2 and the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SC Black Edition. One particular card that is missing would be a possible Classified or even a K|NGP|N edition card and maybe those 3+GHz were reached with exactly such a card.
