K|ngp|n has had another go with his K|ngp|n Edition GeForce GTX 1080 Ti graphics cards and this time he's been demolishing the former record in 3DMark Time Spy and Fire Strike. Thanks to a rather substantial overclock on the Intel Core i9-7980XE he's been able to achieve over 69 fps in the CPU score of the Time Spy benchmark.


This latest record from K|ngp|n happened on an Intel X299 platform using an EVGA X299 Dark motherboard, an Intel Core i9-7980XE processor and G.Skill memory. The CPU has been overclocked to a whopping 5.71 GHz, while the GPU was running at a massive 2'455 MHz. Compared to stock clocks that's a 75% overclock on the GPU.

To make the whole setup run through the benchmark CPU and GPU received liquid nitrogen cooling. Apparently K|ngp|n has been using his own equipment for that purpose such as his TEK-9 container for the GPU.

We congratulate Vince "K|ngp|n" Lucido to this awesome new score! Below you can find all the records he recently submitted on HWBot.
